Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine, otherwise known as Sam Beam, is a remarkable craftsman and deeply literate songwriter who has become one of the top selling indie artists in the US.

He has released three full-length albums, a handful of EPs and singles, plus a collaborative EP with Calexico, indeed his sound is born from that alt-country movement but is more a reflective yet life affirming folk sound. Last year he stole the show at All Tomorrow's Parties New York curated by the Flaming Lips and 2011 sees the release of a new album Kiss Each Other Clean.

‘The natural – and, frankly, wonderful – successor to the Elliott Smith and Nick Drake school of perfectly beautiful songwriting’ NME
