...Ward’s newest EP, is a case in point. Pitching up and down like a creaky fin de siècle roller coaster, the rollicking Daniel Johnston cover exemplifies Ward’s newfound balancing act. Offsetting the pounding drums, which swell repeatedly to (almost) fist-pump-inducing crescendos, Ward’s throwback vocal style, with support from singer Neko Case, reminds listeners of older, gentler, “pre-war” tunes.
