M. Ward released a new album, More Rain, back in March via Merge. Now he’s shared a video for More Rain track “Slow Driving Rain.” Carlos Foster directed the clip, which mixes footage of Ward performing the song with moody nighttime driving images. Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst, who was in the supergroup Monsters of Folk with Ward, cameos as a passenger. Watch it below.

More Rain is Ward’s eighth album (not including his collaborations with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him nor the album with Monsters of Folk) and is the follow-up to 2012’s A Wasteland Companion. The album features Neko Case, R.E.M.‘s Peter Buck, K.D. Lang, The Secret Sisters, and Joey Spampinato of NRBQ.

Previously Ward had shared the album’s first single, “Girl From Conejo Valley,” as well as a strange video for the song. That was followed by another song from the record, the religious-themed “Confession,” and the video for “I’m Listening (Child’s Theme).”
