This is the 40th (or something like that) album from M. Ward…you may also know him from his collaboration with Zooey Deschanel, She & Him. Singer songwriter, Portland Hipster, straight forward record, mellow, quite good.

FCC Clean!!
Favorites: 4, 5, 8, 9

1. (1:01) [More Rain] - Rain and instrumental interlude
2. (2:46) Pirate Dial - Mid tempo acoustic guitar and echoey vocals
3. (2:49) Time Won't Wait - More plugged in, driving drum beat, distorted vocals
4. (3:14) Confession - One of my faves. Great melody, varied sounds, mid/up tempo.
5. (3:11) I'm Listening (Child's Theme) - Really sounds like a lullaby. Sleepy and sweet.
6. (3:35) Girl From Conejo Valley - Great instrumentally, not my favorite lyrically.
7. (4:24) Slow Driving Man - Down tempo, acoustic, dreamy.
8. (3:04) You're So Good To Me - Jumpy guitar, fun harmonies.
9. (2:50) Temptation - Another great melody, more plugged in, uptempo.
10. (3:10) Phenomenon - Slide guitar, strumming acoustic guitar and distant vocals.
11. (3:32) Little Baby - Super boring.
12. (3:38) I'm Going Higher - Uptempo and happy.
