On M. Ward's tenth solo album and his first for ANTI- Records, the Oregon producer/songwriter is still playing folk music, yes, but this time around, he's also imbibing in a '50s crooner fantasy. The new drag fits him well. "Heaven's Nail and Hammer," with its bubbling-under acoustic sounds punctuated by the occasional Hawaiian-sunset blaze of electric guitar, and "Coyote Mary's Traveling Show" can only be described as dreamy. As in: lovely and soft, but also something from a pleasantly out-of-focus twilight dream. Opener "Migration of Souls" is gauzy and fragile, like you're listening to sweet and low transmissions from another plane. Ditto "Chamber Music." "Unreal City" picks up the pace but is still a gentle creature dressed up with doo-wop hand claps. Driven by campfire guitar and far-off thunderclap percussion, lullaby "Torch" is as atmospheric as summer weather; "heart beats a rhythm to its own ba-ba-ba," Ward exhales. Recommended for road trips, backyard campouts and porch naps. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
