In April, M. Ward announced a new album, Supernatural Thing, out June 23 and featuring guest spots from First Aid Kit, Jim James, Kelly Pratt, Shovels & Rope, Scott McMicken of Dr. Dog, and Neko Case. We’ve already written about its lead single and title track, and today Ward is sharing another album preview: “new kerrang,” which has the collab with McMicken.

“It’s inspired by used-bin Ray Davies records and by all the musicians I know who are chasing perfection by following whatever sound is crashing around in their head,” Ward says of “new kerrang.”
