M. Ward writes for beat-up transistor radios, as if he were sending his songs hurtling backward through time and space. His sixth solo album, out April 10, mostly marks the singer’s welcome return to the dusty shadows.
Today, M. Ward released his first single from his upcoming record, A Wasteland Companion. The track is called “The First Time I Ran Away,” and the animated video was directed by Joel Trussell. Watch it above!
