M. Ward, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, and Jim James of My Morning Jacket are set to release an album with producer Mike Mogis on September 22nd. The four musicians are calling themselves the Monsters of Folk, reprising the name they used for an all-star tour back in 2004. How psyched am I? Very. Take a listen to a performance of Oberst’s “At The Bottom of Everything” with Ward and James in t

NPR started stream of M. Ward's entire upcoming album, Hold Time, last night at midnight ET! Of course you should check it out. Because it's awesome, that's why. Seriously, though, go listen. You can also still hear Andrew Bird's upcoming Noble Beast, and NPR will have Animal Collective's latest there next week (though chances are you've heard it already). So make sure you check back h...

M. Ward has revealed that he will be releasing a new album in 2009. It will be called "Hold Time".
