Zevende album. Uit 2012. Opgenomen in achte verschillende studios. Met gastrollen van Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), Tobey Leaman (Dr Dog) en John Parish (PJ Harvey). Pitchfork: listening to M. Ward is nowadays perhaps more deeply pleasurable than it ever has been, with glistening strings and big slabs of piano occupying more and more of the terrain once almost entirely populated by his nimble fingered guitar, trashcan percussion, and creaky room noise.
