At the end of this week, M. Ward will release his new album Supernatural Thing. He's teasing it today with one last advance single, a collaboration with the Swedish sisters First Aid Kit. "Too Young To Die" is a masterful bit of songcraft: sparsely produced, laced with striking melodies, and sharply written on the lyrical front. Here's one example sung by Johanna Söderberg on the first chorus:
I first heard that from an old guy:
"I'm too young to die"
Now it's spray-painted on the half-pipe:
"Too young to die"
