m. ward - 'me and my shadow'

I like this a lot. It's very subversive in both content and delivery and a lovely swipe at the way that empty vessels such as Justin Bieber and his impressionable fans are manipulated quite cynically. If you think folk music is fey or not kick-arse enough then prepare to be shocked and entertained in equal measure. It's kind of lo-fi, kind of Americana but there's a compelling piece of guitar work going on that takes this above and beyond that.  It's quite superb.


As a postscript, can I just add that I never understand when people, especially musicians, refer to themselves with initial first names. It seems a bit like talking in 3rd person.
