The record finally receives a proper physical release via M.Ward Records. Over the last decade Ward has released a string of acclaimed solo albums, as well as six LPs with Zooey Deschanel in the duo She and Him. Ward is also a member of the group Monsters of Folk alongside My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis, as well as a producer on albums for\u003cbr\u003e Mavis Staples, Jenny Lewis, and Carlos Forster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVia Ward: “This is a record inspired by people in the industry I have known - heroes and villains in equal measure. There’s some beautiful moments when you travel for a living, and I’m grateful for being part of an industry that’s taken me around the world so many times - but you quickly learn there’s a perfectly imperfect balance of cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals in the zoo. This record visits the most memorable characters. There’s a lot of very inspirational people I’ve had the pleasure to work with but there are also a few I wish I’d never met. It all tragically ends with an imaginary Griffin Mill-\u003cbr\u003e inspired murder ballad. This album is a reminder to keep your friends close, your enemies closer and don’t let the ones that just need an extra couple hours of therapy bring you down. Anyway I hope you like it. All names have been changed to protect the innocent\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Limited Edition Clouded Clear Vinyl. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M Ward Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498218557771,"sku":"1051703","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c43fc98e-0079-4730-931b-24b348e3175a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727741753"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/m-ward-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
