M. Ward, "Post-War" (Merge, 2006).
Since I mentioned M. Ward in Saturday's post, today seems like an appropriate time to formally recognize his newest effort in this space. He has put together another solid American rock etc. record. He brings the rock more than say, Horse Feathers, on tracks like "Poison Cup" and "To Go Home" [thanks largely to the backing band (a first for a M. Ward album)]. But he's still bringing the rock accompanied with warm strings and that weathered voice. And that's why we love M. Ward.
Get the facts and vote Yes:
Don't just take my word for it: thanks to the fine folks at Merge Records, the whole album currently can be streamed here.
Also of note:
His official website.
His myspace.

(10.01.06) Recommends:
Band of Horses, "Everything All The Time" (Sub Pop, 2006).
Continuing with yesterday's theme of Albums That Will Definitely Make It On Every Music Critic's Best of 2006 List, today I present Band of Horses. Of course, the only way you've escaped the power of this album is if you've spent 2006 living under water, where sound travels on some sort of distorted wave length or something. I'm not really sure of the science involved. But poor dolphins, never to experience the awesomeness of "The Funeral," hands down 2006's Song of the Year.
The Funeral.
