Merge Records is an independent record label based in Durham, North Carolina. Founded in 1989 by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan, it started as a platform to release music from their band Superchunk and their friends' creations. Over the years, Merge Records has grown to include talented artists from all over the world, with some of their records even reaching the top of the Billboard music charts.
With its headquarters nestled in Durham, North Carolina, Merge Records has become a renowned name in the music industry. The label was established by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan back in 1989 with a vision to share their own musical endeavors as well as support fellow musicians within their circle.
What began as a humble endeavor quickly flourished into something much greater. Today, Merge Records boasts an impressive roster of artists spanning various genres and backgrounds. From indie rock to experimental pop, *Superchunk* paved the way for other talented musicians to join forces under this esteemed label's umbrella.

After his foray into '50s pop with actress-cum-songstress Zooey Deschanel on She and Him's Volume One, M Ward returns to his contemplative self with Hold Time.

Although he's been compared to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to Howe Gelb, with Hold Time, it's clear that M Ward, with his brilliant guitar playing and innate sense of melody, is one of those rare and special talents who defy comparison and compartmentalisation. his deft guitar picking, bar room piano, and voice like drizzled honey make him a huge favourite of music critics and the focus of public praise from such disparate talents as Norah Jones and Oasis' Noel Gallagher.
