M. Ward is a Portland, Oregon based songwriter born on October 4, 1973. He draws inspiration from various American musical traditions including folk, country, blues, and rock. With his unique blend of genres, M. Ward has captivated audiences worldwide.

Not only does he have a successful solo career, but M. Ward is also part of the group She & Him alongside *Zooey Deschanel*. Together they create enchanting melodies that have garnered critical acclaim.

If you enjoy artists such as Sparklehorse, T.V. On The Radio, Guster, Starlight Mints, Mercury Rev, Clem Snide, Eels or Daniel Johnston then you are sure to appreciate the captivating soundscapes crafted by *M. Ward*.

Originally released on CD in 1999, M. Ward's debut is a sparse, mostly live affair recorded with pal and engineer Adam Selzer of Norfolk &amp; Western at Type Foundry Studio in Portland, OR. Listeners who are already accustomed to Ward's breathy, conversational vocal delivery and soft-picked, West Coast Americana melodies will find much to love here. Duet for Guitars #2 is peppered with instrumentals in the John Fahey and Bad Timing-era Jim O'Rourke vein, and Ward's lackadaisical picking sounds just as lazily precise here as it does on future recordings. There's a real warmth to the sessions that transcends the often bare-bones production. For the most part, it sounds like most takes were done live with two microphones, with the occasional overdub, and that style suits Ward's dreamy tales of molasses-slow teenage summers ("Beautiful Car") and oddball parables like "Fishing Boat Song." It's also interesting to hear him shedding the inflections of some of his more obvious heroes like Neil Young ("Who May Be Lazy") and Bob Dylan ("It Won't Happen Twice"). This limited edition is an indie record store exclusive and pressed on clear vinyl!
