Two exceptional bands, Calexico and Iron and Wine reunite for a new album “Years to Burn”. This 8-song release is more of a collaboration than their previous effort “In the Reins,” with layers of music and stories worthy of these musical explorers.
Calexico and Iron & Wine today announce ‘Years To Burn’, their first full–length album together. Listen to lead track “Father Mountain”. An extensive European tour has been announced for November.
Sub Pop and Iron & Wine will celebrate the 15th anniversary of Our Endless Numbered Days with the release of a newly remastered and expanded deluxe edition worldwide on March 22nd, 2019. Includes eight previously never before heard demos.
Iron & Wine share ingenious stop motion video by Rachel Blumberg for ‘Last Night’, taken from their Grammy-nominated album, Beast Epic. They return to the UK later this year to headline Black Deer Festival in Kent, as well as perform in Ireland and Glasgow.
For Beast Epic, his fourth solo release via Seattle’s Sub-Pop label, Iron & Wine returns to his introspective, confessional style with which he first made his name. It is the quieter more fragile moments that glow the brightest.
Iron & Wine shares video for “Thomas County Law” from Beast Epic, his forthcoming album due out August 25th on Sub Pop. The winsome and sly visual stars Sam Beam as a preacher preparing for a funeral service.
Iron & Wine will release Beast Epic, his first new material in over four years, on 25th August via Sub Pop. He has also delivered a video for the lead track, “Call It Dreaming,” which stars the singer and was directed by J. Austin Wilson. Watch it here.

With Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop due to take a trip over the Atlantic this month for a brief run of dates that concludes at Moseley Folk Festival, Birmingham, we caught up with Jesca to talk about their latest collaboration on Love Letter For Fire.
Bob Boilen at NPR invited Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop to perform at his desk yesterday. The duo performed three songs from their latest album Love Letters For Fire – a great session, brimming with charm as well as laughter.
Sam Beam’s collaboration with Jesca Hoop is easily his best work in a while, and, on top of being a fine album, keeping his company will hopefully create a wider awareness of her charms too.
