Iron & Wine
Iron & Wine is the stage name for one Samuel Beam, a Florida native who made his name by releasing lo-fi tapes in Miami. After catching the attention of Sub Pop honcho Jonathan Poneman, Beam was asked to send material to the label for submission. After a few months, he sent two CDs in the mail -- both of them full-length albums. Poneman considered releasing them both, but instead slimmed down the set to 12 songs and released it in September 2002 as The Creek Drank the Cradle. One year later, The Sea & the Rhythm followed, featuring five tracks recorded dur...[more]

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Iron and Wine's debut record, "The Creek Drank the Cradle," is written, produced, and performed by Sam Beam and features only Beam's voice, a gently strummed acoustic guitar, some slide guitar, and the occasional banjo. Iron and Wine create intimate and emotional songs, recorded bedroom-style but never letting the lo-fi get in the way of the tune. The obvious comparison has to be Lou Barlow/Sebadoh/Sentridoh, as they share the same breathy voice, melanch [ read more ]

#29 Seller of 2005! Sam Beam's third record is striking both for its broadened instrumental palette (percussion, piano, violin, electric guitar) and its thematic focus on female characters both archetypal and personal. He frames his melancholy in concrete imagery and solid, inviting melodies. Self-assured, spellbinding, and richly, refreshingly adult. Six new songs recorded with Brian Deck in Chicago.

Iron And Wine's most ambitious and accomplished recording to date, and also the most satisfying. While many of us learned of Iron And Wine by way of the tender and spare rendering of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" on the "Garden State" soundtrack, those who dug deeper discovered a classic American tunesmith with a precocious musical signature. This whole album breathes. Its seductive rhythms percolate and undulate. The Shepherd's Dog is informed by a sensuality that brings a dreamscape to [ read more ]

Sam Beam returns with a follow-up EP to last year's acclaimed debut, "The Creek Drank the Cradle." The songs here were culled from that same batch of bedroom recordings. The EP also serves as a precursor to Iron and Wine's sophomore album, "Our Endless Numbered Days." As Entertainment Weekly said of Beam, "Based in Miami, of all places, he launches balloons of sweetly whispered regret over trance-inducing backwoods string-band arrangements and watches them float away, his heart in tow. A-."
