For Beginners: The Best Of M. Ward
For Beginners: The Best of M. Ward is a 14-track collection of highlights from M. Ward's Merge Records releases, featuring fan favorites and a new track, "Cry," recorded with Australia's Folk Bitch Trio. The album showcases Ward's evolution, moving from lo-fi recordings to polished, energetic tracks while maintaining his soulful songwriting. The mix includes tracks like "Chinese Translation," "Poison Cup," and his cover of David Bowie's "Let's Dance," organized for a fresh listening experience rather than in chronological order. Released in sync with Merge Records' 35th anniversary, this compilation is both a celebration of Ward's past and a look to his musical future.
