Our Endless Numbered Days (CD)
Iron and Wine return with one of the most anticipated releases of 2004. "Our Endless Numbered Days" is the second full-length album from Iron and Wine (essentially Sam Beam), and it was recorded both at Sam's Miami home and in Chicago's Engine Studios with Brian Deck (Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova.). On it, Sam is aided and abetted by his regular touring and recording conspirators: his sister Sarah Beam, Patrick McKinney, Jeff McGriff, EJ Holowicki, and Jonathan Bradley. Listening to "Our Endless Numbered Days" makes plain Sam's deft touch with words and melody; one that allows him to turn out stories about love, loss, faith, or the lack of it, that are at once personal and universal, set to music that is sweetly haunting and timeless. A stunning follow-up.

| Nostalgic, dreamlike, poetry set to a like music. It's the soundtrack to memories you wish you had, and the lyrics you wish you wrote. Great for soothing one-year olds to sleep in a rocking chair with the windows open on a hot summer evening just before the sun rests in the West. | |
