I wasn't planning to teach Jasper Jones this year, but there'll be teachers working through the holidays rewriting their novel study units now. Shocking stuff. Our school has even hosted Silvey for talks.

M. Ward, Migration Stories, 2020 on Anti-.

Tenth studio LP from Portland OR’s M. Ward, released on 2020 as his first on Anti-. (Think of Spring came out at the end of 2020; Migration Stories in April).

Produced by Craig Silvey in Montreal with contributions by Richard Reed Parry and Tim Kingsbury of Arcade Fire (and others). There is a “migration story” here somewhere, based in M. Ward’s grandfather’s journey to the US, but it’s not super literal.

My copy, which I got from the merch table at an M. Ward show in Rockport MA, is on “coke bottle clear” vinyl. Ironically it required multiple rounds of cleaning to get clear sound from it – I should have held out for a black vinyl version. (But it sounds good now).
