Look, we could listen to M. Ward sing the phone book, let's be honest... Scientists are still trying to work out exactly how many albums M. has released in his career, but if he keeps releasing them, we'll keep swooning. This time around the special guests are plenty, with new single Too Young To Die featuring the exquisite harmonies of Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit, with Neko Case, My Morning Jacket's Jim James, and more along for the ride. Guaranteed to be aurally delicious. - Flying Out
No, it's 2023, and M. Ward is one of the special contemporary artists who invite such questions. Ward has clearly mastered the whole vocabulary of American popular music and made serious decisions about how to employ it for his own ends. What Ward shares with Harry Smith's artists and Neil Young is a context of musical and human values: authenticity and intimacy. Supernatural Thing's original songs sound freshly pulled from the ground, with a little earth sticking to them. Ward's lyric delivery has that slight rawness the ear loves, and his voice has quiet dignity and great tenderness. Supernatural Thing is an open-hearted, inviting album. The album's guest stars - First Aid Kit, Shovels & Rope, Scott McMicken, Neko Case, Jim James - enliven the album with surprises.
