VINYL FORMAT. 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.

| This is a timeless album. I bought this a few years ago on vinyl instead of CD because I had recently hauled out my dad's old turntable and rekindled an interest in records. The version I got came with a bonus 7"... I don't know if that was limited edition or what, but I do know that bonus 7"s aside, this is a near perfect album. Sam Beam sings and plays with a calm intensity that makes you attentive and drowsy at the same time. His lyrics are emotional, reminiscing, and beautiful. My personal favorite, off of "Naked As We Came," would have to be "One of us will die inside these arms." Is that not completely romantic and fullfilling? And that's just one line. I love vinyl becuase it has that nice, warm, scratchy, familiarness to it. That vibe with the absolute splendor of this album make it well worth while. (Though I did eventually buy the CD so I could put it on my iPod.) | |
