MP3: M. Ward – “Never Had Nobody Like You” (ft. Zooey Deschanel) from Hold Time, due February 17 on Merge.

Good, chooglin’ reverb-drenched blues pop. Zooey Deschanel takes a back seat, so this is definitely more M. Ward than She & Him, but it’s still up that same alley. NPR is streaming the whole album.

M. Ward: web, MySpace, wiki, label.
