In January, the marvelous website couchsurfing.org brought us a terrific set of houseguests: a couple from the beaches of California asked to stay in my home while they came to Colorado to pick up the due-any-day baby that they had just been chosen to be the adoptive parents of. For two weeks we got to host them and their brand new little guy, all wide eyes and stretching fingers. It was, in a word, magnificent. We forget that they make people that little, that new. Light as air and just about perfect. As I am wont [...]

There's a very special kind of music that I like to listen to on a rainy day or when I can't sleep. It's the type of music that's soft, slow, and relaxing, and instead of playing around with a ton of different instruments, it typically features just a guitar or piano and a voice. With the gloomy winter weather that we have been having in Toronto lately, I've found myself listening to artists like Iron and Wine and Patty Griffin on repeat. Both acoustic in a number of [...]

Hat man sein Herz ersteinmal an eine Band verloren, wünscht man sich von dieser Band, dass sie sich möglichst niemalsnie verändert. AC/DC, Motörhead oder die Ramones sind auf dieser Schiene jahrzehntelang unfallfrei gefahren. "Ihr seid nicht die Ramones, denkt euch was neues aus", textet die Trierer Punkrock-Kapelle Love A auf ihrem tollen Debütalbum, ein Appel zu mehr Mut und Kreativität! Eine gravierende musikalische Veränderung geht allerdings selten kritiklos an einer Band vorüber (bestes Beispiel in diesem Jahr: Dredg). Als absolut begrüßenswert empfand ich die Erweiterung des musikalischen Kosmos allerdings bei Iron & Wine und Ghost Of Tom Joad. Dass „Black [...]

It finally happened. Winter arrived. Snow fell and we woke up this past Sunday with about three inches of the stuff. I'm glad it didn't arrive earlier, as Friday saw me at KSVR for a four hour stint of music. The first two hours flirted with folk music and the latter half was full-on garage rock, garage pop and psychedelic pop. Much of the 10 to midnight show came courtesy Finest Kiss , who posted some great 2011 lists. Taking [...]
The last few weeks have been mostly a barren wasteland when it comes to new releases, to quote the great Jimmy Cliff we're "sitting here in limbo, waiting for the tide to turn." While we await a new slew of releases, Sam Beam doesn't want you to forget that he put out an album in 2011, in fact it came out almost one calendar year ago. Iron & Wine made the jump to from Sub Pop to Warner Brothers for their most recent studio effort, Kiss Each Other Clean , and continue to show the [...]

I'll never stop loving the beauty of a physical album; everything from the scent of a new vinyl, to the magic of reading the lyrics and seeing the images inside the insert, to the touch of the glossy, matte or recycled paper, and the most important factor - the cover art of the actual overall masterpiece. Here is some of the best album art of 2011. It's easy to see in all of these artists, that there was an actual thought to the structure of not only their music but how it visually sounds. Enjoy!

trespasserswilliam.com The new year is traditionally held as a time for fresh starts and new beginnings, but it can also be a symbolic time for drawing things to an end or perhaps more appropriately, wrapping up something to begin something else. Not that that was the only reason it wasn't a complete surprise when Seattle duo Trespassers William took to Facebook this week to announce that the band would be shelved for the foreseeable future. Despite completely winning me over with their second album Different Stars [...]
Iron & Wine has offered up the official visuals for the Kiss Each Other Clean featuring "Godless Brother In Love". The sun bleached easy on the eye video is a very pleasant way to spend 3 minutes of your day as the winter weather still holds a clenched fist on the world outside. Give it a watch at the top and look forward to a warm summer eve in say, oh, I don't know, 6 months maybe?!
Tweet vaso link Despite having been released nearly a year ago at this point, Sam Beam is still releasing material from his latest album, Kiss Each Other Clean . I can't tell if that album was a disappointment or not; I don't recall seeing it on many Best of 2011 lists, but I thought it was a solid Iron & Wine release. Nothing groundbreaking for him, but entertaining nonetheless. Just not something I wanted to spend a month listening to. Beam's newest video, for "Godless [...]

Iron & Wine sigue presentando su último LP, Kiss Each Other Clean . En esta oportunidad, hace entrega de un emotivo clip que sirve como acompañamiento visual a su canción Godless Brother In Love . El video, dirigido por Claire Marie Vogel , es una celebración campestre de la amistad, protagonizado por varios jóvenes en un bosque. La fotografía vintage y la lentitud de progresión de los cuadros se adapta idealmente con las suaves melodías de la canción. [...]
Iron & Wine 's folky, sun-soaked "Godless Brother In Love" (off 20112s Kiss Each Other Clean ) has received a set of visuals courtesy of director Claire Marie Vogel. The video, which features slow-motion cuts and a group of friends enjoying the beauties of nature, matches the song quite well, adding dimension to Iron & Wine's calming vocals. Check it out below.
Here's presenting the video for the most supremely written gospel hymn of recent years, from Iron & Wine 's Kiss Each Other Clean . 'Godless Brother In Love' is the best song from Kiss Each Other Clean , and causes my ears to rejoice and stand to relaxed attention throughout. Taking a few more melodic leaps than perhaps his voice is comfortable with, the fragility of Sam Beam's religious persona is alluring and accentuated when complimented by these particular harmonies and cadences. The flick was [...]

Dirigido por Claire Marie Vogel, o vídeo de Godless Brother in Love compila uma série de tomadas em câmera lenta de momentos alegres e íntimos entre amigos que, como na faixa, trazem uma alegria, doçura e aconchego que só os sentimentos mais nobres podem proporcionar. Assista:

El proyecto indie folk estadounidense de Sam Beam, Iron & Wine, acaba de publicar un nuevo video, se trata de "Godless Brother in Love", sencillo incluido en su reciente álbum "Kiss Each Other Clean". El primaveral video clip fue dirigido por la videasta y fotografa Claire Marie Vogel . Iron and Wine se encuentra actualmente promocionando su nuevo disco y no tiene planes de rasurarse, pero tampoco de integrarse a ZZ Top. En su página web se pueden encontrar versiones alternas, venta de arte original por correo, etc... Acá el video:

Découvert il y a un peu moins d'un an avec son album Kiss Each Other Clean, Iron & Wine est de retour aujourd'hui avec le vidéo de son morceau Godless Brother In Love tiré de ce dernier. Une chanson magnifique tout en sensualité qui colle parfaitement avec les thèmes d'amour et d'amitié qui sont évoqués dans les paroles. La vidéo quant à elle, grandi ce sentiment d'évasion avec ce petit groupe de jeune qui s'amuse dans des décors naturelles simples, qui donne envie de les rejoindre.
