Mehr als drei Jahre sind seit dem letzten Sam Beam-Studioalbum vergangen, ein langes Warten, welches der Singer-Songwriter und Kategorisierungs-Feind zwar mit einer umfangreichen Compilation verkürzte, aber dennoch gierte der Iron & Wine-Jünger nach neuen Lebenszeichen. Weit davon entfernt, das Warten zum Stehenbleiben zu nutzen oder es sich gar in der gerade selbst geschaffenen Schublade bequem zu machen, hat Beam sein Folk-Pop-Kaleidoskop um weitere Facetten bereichert. Einig ist den 10 Songs der stete Hang zum Wohlklang, zu himmlischen Harmonien, die das Album aufs Herrlichste einen. Aber bei aller Harmoniesucht bleibt da immer auch die Liebe zur Veränderung, Überraschung, zur rauhen Kante, wo die weiche Wolke erwartet wird, zur Kargheit in satter Fülle, zum versponnenen Funk im Soft-Pop. Ebenso überbordend wie des Meisters Melodien-Reichtum ist auch die Arrangement-Vielfalt, die jeden einzelnen Song zu etwas ganz besonderem macht, akustische Perlen auf Gitarre und Klavier, pluckernde Rhythmen, schillernde Keyboard-Klang-Farben, ein betrunkenes Saxophon, afrikanisches Schlagwerk, gleißende West-Coast- und verzerrte Swamp-Gitarren, analoge Synthesizer vereinen sich zu einem verspielten, immer wieder überraschenden, gleichzeitig erdverbundenen und seltsam losgelösten, schmeichelnden und rumpelnden Klang-Kosmos, der durch die vielstimmigen, gern auch Beach Boys-gleichen Gesangsharmonien gekrönt wird. Wundersam verhexter Wohlklang, der sanft, aber volltönend jeglicher Schublade entkommt. (cpa)

Limited Edition of 1000 Opaque Pink 180 Gram Vinyl LP. Kiss Each Other Clean, Iron & Wine's fourth full length record was originally released in 2011 and came three years after his biggest selling record up to that point, The Shepherd's Dog. The bands two earlier albums had been sparse, intimate solo affairs that offered no hint of the direction he would take with records three and four. Like The Shepherd's Dog, Kiss Each Other Clean is layered with textures, poly-rhythmic sounds and a more is more approach. His lyrics sprung to life in ways initially unimaginable to early fans and critics helping each song tell its story and build to climaxes thru various sounds and editing techniques. However what remained at the core of KEOC, and what fans of the band had come to love, was the song writing and singing of principle songwriter Sam Beam. Beam's ability to invite you in with his hushed singing tone and knack for a melody remained front and center even in his drive to replicate something in the vein of Waits' Swordfishtormbones Principle recording for KEOC was at home in Dripping Springs, Texas where Beam resided at the time. After laying down the bulk of the record Beam moved recording to Chicago to work with Brian Deck. A cast of musicians helped Beam find his sound and see his vision for KEOC including Joe Adamik (Califone), Jim Becker (Califone), Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), Stuart Bogie (Antibalas), Rob Burger (Tin Hat Trio), Benny Massarella (Red Red Meat/Califone), Chad Taylor (Chicago Underground Duo) and Matt Lux (Isotope 217). With KEOC Beam and company brought in soft rock smoothness, dub reggae textures, and instruments that hadn't been featured on previous records. The vintage synths on 'Monkeys Uptown', the Stevie Wonder funk on 'Big Burned Hand,', the strum and drang of 'Walking Far From Home' all give the otherwise very organic-sounding arrangements a welcome cheesy kick. The record also produced the biggest radio single of the bands career with the vintage AM friendly vibes of 'Tree by the River.' It was an adventurous period in the career in Iron & Wine and one in which Beam was defying categorization.
