Jim Ward (At The Drive-In/Sparta/Sleepercar) revealed his new single “Foreign Currency,” the latest song off of his upcoming solo album 'Daggers,' out June 11 via Dine Alone Records.

Of the song Jim shares, "I think that when everything stopped in 2020 and there weren't anymore plans and I couldn't make any plans and there was no going anywhere, anyhow no matter what. I finally stopped and looked back and started to really unpack some things emotionally and mentally that I had put in a shelf way in the back. A lot of that became blueprints for this records lyrics and themes - Foreign Currency dives right into the realization that the result of living without being totally honest with yourself first is going to hurt the ones you love the most. Sometimes it takes a lockdown, a guitar and some real honest alone time to get to the bottom of things."
