Ward, also known for his work with Sea and Him and Monsters of Folk, released his first album in 1999. A beautiful, solid work that will impress not only his new and old fans, but also lovers of lo-fi and Americana, on January 26, 2024, M. Ward's two most celebrated albums, Duet for Guitars #2 (1999) and Transfiguration of Vincent ( 2003) will be reissued by Merge Records. Duet for Guitars #2 introduced us to M. Ward's characteristic roughness and fingerpicking prowess. More minimalist than his later albums, the songs range from lullabies to rock-like declarations of love. The album was released in 1999 on Co-Dependent Records, with one of the first 1,000 copies going to Howe Gelb, who re-released it in 2000 on Ow Om Records.It was subsequently discontinued and remained a hard-to-find entry in M. Ward's catalog until 2007, when Merge Records reissued it with three new tracks. Duet for Guitars #2 is a beautiful and solid album that will impress not only new and old fans of M. Ward, but also lovers of lo-fi and Americana. 2003 marked the beginning of everything for Ward with the release of Transfiguration of Vincent. The release of \"Transfiguration of Vincent\" in 2003 opened the door to all things Ward. Critically acclaimed and long-loved, Pitchfork called it a \"timeless, genre-defying\" album, and Slant included it in its list of the best albums of the 2000s. Not only is this the perfect album to begin a love affair with M. Ward, but it is also a deeply and brilliantly formed work that listeners have listened to over and over again for two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Duet for Guitars #2\u003cbr\u003e2.Beautiful Car\u003cbr\u003e3.Fishing Boat Song\u003cbr\u003e4.Scene from #12\u003cbr\u003e5.Good News\u003cbr\u003e6.The Crooked Spine\u003cbr\u003e7.Look Me Over\u003cbr\u003e8.Who May Be Lazy\u003cbr\u003e9.It Won't Happen Twice\u003cbr\u003e10.He Asked Me to Be a Snake \u0026amp; Live Underground\u003cbr\u003e11.Song from Debby's Stairs\u003cbr\u003e12.It Was a Beautiful Car\u003cbr\u003e13.Were You There?\u003cbr\u003e14.Not a Gang\u003cbr\u003e15.Duet for Guitars #1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47788196921633,"sku":"4526180677826","price":95.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4526180677826.jpg?v=1704828550","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ro\/products\/4526180677826","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
