M. Ward is releasing a new album, More Rain, on March 4 via Merge. Previously he 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.” Last night he performed both songs on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “Confession” made the broadcast show, while “Girl From Conejo Valley” was a web-exclusive performance. Watch both performances below.

More Rain is Ward’s eighth album (not including his collaborations with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him nor the album with supergroup 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.
