Iron and Wine
T0151731598
Iron & Wine is the musical project of Sam Beam, a South Carolina-born former film studies lecturer, now living in Texas. A painter also, Beam's roots in the visual arts signpost the refined and somber storytelling that weaves throughout his music. With a softly spoken delivery conveying a certain cinematic gravitas, Beam conjures wonderfully evocative narratives rich in downhome symbolism and vivid characterization.

Production details
Kiss Each Other Clean is the first album for 4AD from Iron and Wine. Set for release in January 2011, it also marks their first new album for over three years. Many fell in love with Iron and Wine when Beam's tender and spare rendering of The Postal Service's Such Great Heights was featured on the Garden State soundtrack in 2002. That same year, the South-Carolina born, Texas-based Beam announced himself as a classic American tunesmith with a precocious musical signature on Iron and Wine's epically sparse debut album The Creek Drank The Cradle, followed by 2003's The Sea & The Rhythm EP, 2004's full-length Our Endless Numbered Days, 2005's Woman King EP, as well as In The Reins, a collaboration with rock band Calexico.
