Elly Roberts reviews

M.Ward: To Go Home (EP) M.Ward: To Go Home (EP) (4AD) Following his outstanding fifth album Post War in 2006, Mat Ward returns with a scintillating EP, out February 19th. The golden boy of Americana can't seem to put a foot wrong, though he's struggling to make a big impact here in the UK. Nevertheless, this classy singer-songwriter delivers a stunning four song collection. His trademark vocals, both haunting and exquisite, resonates every lyric. Opening with assured aplomb, To Go Home is in the Springsteen big-sound mould with a thrusting beat (and impressive drum rolls) and catchy chorus it will surely catch someone's ears at the radio stations. Cosmopolitan Pap is countrified and sprightly foot-tapping jaunt complete with honky-tonk piano; it continues the opener's pace and energy. Down-beat piano-lead Human Punching Bag shows the tender side of Ward's ever expanding repertoire, with those cavernous vocals shining through. The bigger sound returns on Headed For A Fall as it neatly shuffles along with several instruments adding the icing on a magnificent cake. Weblink: mwardmusic.com
