M. Ward is coming out with a new album. Migration Stories will arrive on April 3rd, 2020 via Anti Records and there’s an accompanying North American tour that will kick off just a couple of weeks after its release.
With the announcement we’re also getting the lead single, “Migration of Souls.” Ward said the following in the press release about what inspired his latest collection of music:
Some time went by, the stories wove together and I remember them now closer to characters in a dream of how people could treat each other than any kind of front-page news realism. I think music subconsciously – whether writing or listening – is a filter for me. Helping to process all the bad news into something new to build from. Some records to me are like self-fulfilling prophecies – visualizing change to wish something into being. Those records inspired this one.
