Comment:

The increasing popularity of M. Ward over the course of his last two albums — [i]Transistor Radio[/i] and [i]Post-War[/i] — has positioned him as a troubled indie rock pinup of sorts. Which is ironic, considering how arty some of his material is, especially his finger-picked instrumentals. Coming off like Six Organs of Admittance with a clearer pop sensibility, Ward teases sinewy chords out of a Beach Boys tune ("You Still Believe In Me"), delivers a melancholic "Psalm" that truly sounds sacred, and builds a steady drone out of three-and-a-half stirring, pastoral minutes that'll leave you looking for cows outside your window. Oh, and about 1999's [i]Duet for Guitars #2[/i] — debuts rarely get that spare, spooky, or understatedly spectacular.
