M. Ward will release Hold Time on February 17 via Merge Records. The release is the indie-centric singer/songwriter’s first proper solo album since his 2007 breakout Post-Jam. After wrapping up a tour in support of that record, Ward formed the new buzz group She & Him with actress Zooey Deschanel. The pair released their first studio album, the appropriately titled Volume One, earlier this year. 

Hold Time is slated to feature guest appearances by Deschanel, Jason Lytle, Lucinda Williams and DeVotchka’s Tom Hagerman. In addition, Ward is working on a studio album with Conor Oberst and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James. The trio occasionally tours together under the name The Monsters of Folk, while Ward made a surprise appearance with My Morning Jacket at Coachella last April. She & Him will appear next at Los Angeles' The Wiltern.
