M. Ward - Primitive Girl

Words // Scott Pingeton

Here's a second look at M. Ward's upcoming album, A Wasteland Companion.  Ward is a master of nuanced musical meditations, but can also kick out a pure, old-fashioned pop song with the best of them.  "The First Time I Ran Away", the first track we heard off A Wasteland Companion is the former.  "Primitive Girl" is decidedly the latter.  An upbeat, piano-driven stomp and a great first single. It's great to hear new music from M. Ward...

Primitive Girl by M. Ward

M. Ward is at the House of Blues on May 8, which cruelly coincides with The Wooden Sky's show at Radio in Somerville - a fact that makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and cry.
