IRON AND WINE | KISS EACH OTHER CLEAN
Indie folk singer/songwriter Samuel Beam, known best by his stage name Iron and Wine, is releasing his much anticipated fourth album Kiss Each Other Clean on January 25th. Beam’s sound is clearly evolving, moving beyond his characteristic spare, thoughtful lo-fi acoustic indie folk towards a fuller, dynamic sound. Experimenting with and calling upon folk, jazz, funk, blues, and 60’s/70’s pop, Beam casts a wide net of influences yet produces a collection that is measured and perfected. Kiss Each Other Clean is a stunning addition to the already stellar Iron and Wine discography. Standout tracks include “Big Burned Hand”, “Walking Far From Home”, and “Your Fake Name Is Good Enough for Me.” – Written by JFelton

IRON AND WINE | AROUND THE WELL
Around the Well is a collection of rare tracks ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released songs spanning the career of Iron and Wine (Sam Beam) from the home sessions that eventually yielded The Creek Drank The Cradle through his last release The Shepherd’s Dog. Split into two discs, the first disc contains unedited home recordings and the second features more refined studio moments recorded with friends. Around the Well should satiate die-hard fans until the follow-up to The Shepherd’s Dog is released in Spring 2010.
