M. Ward has revealed the first tour in support of his next album, Hold Time. The tour begins near Boston on February 18, which just so happens to be the day after Hold Time comes out on Merge.

As a prelude of sorts to the tour, Ward will appear with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him on Elvis Costello's Sundance Channel show, "Spectacle". She & Him will be Costello's guests on February 11, and Jenny Lewis and son of Bob/Wallflowers guy Jakob Dylan will join them.

Those thirsting for a taste of Hold Time, head here and click on the television knob to hear the lushly orchestrated title track.
