M. Ward: Never Had Nobody Like You ft. Zooey Deschanel (MP3)

Unlike the desolate title track, this new song, "Never Had Nobody Like You," from M.Ward's Hold Time is light, bouncy, and more Zooey-- as in Deschanel, who lends sunny backing vocals to Ward's huskier croon and fuzzed-out guitars. It's like a She & Him track with Ward as the main draw.

Hold Time is due out on February 17 via Merge, but you can stream the whole thing right now at NPR. [Stereogum]
