NewsvineTonight, I was listening to M. Ward’s End of Amnesia, an album that Sarah recommended to me. It’s sung with a hushed whisper (or is it a rasp?). Most of the album is just Ward and his guitar, but a few songs have other instruments. It’s all very quiet, but there’s a certain edge deep down. Something not quite settled. If this were electronica, it’d be called down tempo. It’s almost like folk but not really. I’ve been listening to a lot of big scores lately — dynamic, bold music like John Adam’s “Lollapalooza” — so it took a couple of listens to sync in with M. Ward’s vibe. But once you’re there, it’s a good place to be. I’m enjoying End of Amnesia a lot.
