M Ward Releases New Video for ‘The First Time I Ran Away’ – Watch Now
Tuesday, 07 February 2012 Written by Rob Sleigh


American singer-songwriter M Ward has announced the release of a new video for ‘The First Time I Ran Away’, the first track to be taken from his forthcoming solo album ‘A Wasteland Companion’. The new album, Ward’s seventh to date, is due out on 9th April and is the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Hold Time’. See below for the new video and full album tracklisting.

M. Ward has also revealed a date at Leicester Square Theatre in London in March and will be joining Feist on her upcoming UK tour – see below for dates.

In addition to his solo work, M. Ward also performs in the supergroup Monsters of Folk with members of Bright Eyes and My Morning Jacket, and is one-half of She & Him alongside actress Zooey Deschanel, star of the US sitcom ‘New Girl’. Deschanel also features on ‘A Wasteland Companion’ with a number of other well-known contributors such as Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis and PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish.

Speaking about the new album, Ward said: “Between now and when I made ‘Hold Time’ there has been a lot of travelling which requires a lot of reckoning with what to leave behind and what to carry – material and otherwise – and thinking about what I want versus what I need, creatively and otherwise. I wanted to get a reflection of that on the album. It was a process of stripping away my security blanket, which is the same four walls I always record in.”
