'I tend to exist in the darker parts of the psyche, Jim Ward admits. 'That's where I've alwaysbeen.' And yet what makes the musician so unique and downright compelling is how exactly atthe 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.\r
\r
'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, aswell his alt-country project, Sleepercar. In fact, it's this healing power of music, Ward offers, that led him to Daggers, the lauded musician's new solo record set for release in 2021 via Dine Alone.'When my world has upheaval, it becomes about doing the work in front of me,' he adds. 'Andthis record was pure joy: talking to my friends on the phone, swapping ideas with them, goinginto my head for a while, coming out with something.'So while Daggers is officially credited as a solo work, and Ward never entered the room withany of his collaborators due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he's effusive in his praise for them: notably the twin team of Incubus bassist Ben Kenney and Thursday drummer Tucker Rule, both of whom took Ward's guitar riffs and helped propel them into fully fleshed-out songs.\r
