M. Ward Announces New Album, She & Him Volume Two

M. Ward has revealed that he will be releasing a new album in 2009. It will be called "Hold Time". The musician told Paste: "I just finished a record that's going to be out in February, It's called Hold Time. I'm excited for people to hear it. I tried a new balance on this new record. It's a little hard to explain. There's a lot of really big and heavy sounds that I attempted to balance with sounds that you can find in any guitar shop." He also talked about the rumoured album with Conor Oberst and Jim James he said it moving "very slowly but very surely. I imagine it'll be out in 2010 or 2011 at the glacial pace that we're getting the chance to work together. But I believe in the power of the passing of time to give you a clear vision of what's going to last and what was created in the whimsy of the moment. It doesn't have a name or anything except for ideas and enthusiasm and [our] hearts, We're very excited about it, but it's off in the distance. Conor put a record out a few months ago. Jim James is still on tour. I'm putting a record out in February. It's a trick, but when we do stuff together it's a blast. It's a complete collaboration. Mike Mogis is in there. It could all change at any second. We don't have any finished songs, but we've been touring together off and on over the last four years. It's exciting to take it to the next step." He also talked about a second She & Him album called "Volume Two": "Zooey has about a gazillion brand new awesome songs. All we know about Volume Two is that it's going to be twice as good as Volume One."
