M. Ward - Transistor Radio 2xLP

M. Ward describes Transistor Radio as a collection of songs about childhood memories of a utopian radio power...and dedicates the album to the last of the remaining independent radio stations. Ward's distinctly weathered voice and intricate guitar playing are helped along with an impressive group of guests including Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley), Howe Gelb (Giant Sand) and Jordan Hudson (The Thermals).180-gram vinyl with four additional tracks, as the December installment in the Merge25 reissue series.

From a half-named troubadour with an otherworldly voice and an old time sensibility comes this fourth full-length, a collection of songs dedicated to the last remaining independent radio stations.
