Description:

Das Solo-Studioalbum vom Jim Ward - LeadsÃ¤nger und Gitarrist von Sparta und MitbegrÃ¼nder der Post-Hardcore-Band At The Drive-In. Wenn es um seine lange und fruchtbare Karriere in der Musik geht, lÃ¤sst sich Jim Ward nicht von Eitelkeit oder Geld oder einer groÃ?artigen Story leiten, in der er der zentrale Akteur ist. Es geht um den Song, die Melodie, den Text. Dieser Philosophie ist Ward gefolgt, als er in seiner langen und kurvenreichen Karriere in verschiedenen Bands auftrat. 1994 und im Alter von 17 Jahren war Ward MitbegrÃ¼nder der legendÃ¤ren Post-Hardcore-Band At The Drive-In. Sie verÃ¶ffentlichten drei von der Kritik gefeierte Studioalben und mehrere EPs, bevor sie sich 2001 auflÃ¶sten. Ward grÃ¼ndete Sparta, dessen jÃ¼ngste VerÃ¶ffentlichung Trust The River aus dem Jahr 2020 ist. Zwischendrin grÃ¼ndete Jim Ward sein Alt-Country-Projekt Sleepercar und verÃ¶ffentlicht nun auch noch ein Soloalbum mit dem Titel "Daggers". Als Gastmusiker spielt Ben Kinney von Incubus Bass und Tucker Rule von Thursday Schlagzeug. -

"I tend to exist in the darker parts of the psyche," Jim Ward admits. "That's where I've always been." And yet what makes the musician so unique and downright compelling is how exactly at the moment when the world joins him in the darkness - take, for example, the ultra-challenging year that was 2020 - it's then Ward is able to claw his way back into the light. "All I was doing was basically meditating with a guitar," Ward says of how every night during the pandemic, armed with a guitar as well as a bit of time and purpose, this prolific musician was able to churn out several riotous riffs that ultimately transformed into one of his most personal and profound albums to date. "I've always used music as an outlet for anxiety and frustration," notes Ward, who has played in a slew of monumental bands, from the iconic post-hardcore band At The Drive-In to Sparta, as well his alt-country project, Sleepercar.
