M. Ward’s been busy lately. In addition to releasing his seventh solo record, Hold Time, earlier this year, he formed part of the so called indie-folk “supergroup”, Monsters of Folk.
More is coming, however. In 2008, he teamed up with the crush of every male hipster, Zooey Deschanel, recording Volume One under the moniker She & Him. Ward told Paste magazine last year that sessions for a follow up to Volume One were progressing well. The new album, aptly titled Volume Two, was – according to Ward – set to “be twice as good as Volume One“.
Merge has now announced a track listing for the record. It includes a handful of covers, and a guest appearance by Nebraskan pop group Tilly and the Wall. Zooey apparently calls it “a feel good album”. You’ll be able to buy it on March 23, 2010.
Here’s the track listing:
1. Thieves
2. In the Sun (feat Tilly and the Wall)
3. Don’t Look Back
4. Ridin’ in My Car
5. Lingering Still
6. Me and You
7. Gonna Get Along Without You Now

9. I’m Gonna Make It Better
10. Sing
