More information is also available on the Pygmalion blog. And, of course, don't forget a

I’ve always thought Iron & Wine’s transformation of New Order’s longing wartime ballad “Love Vigilantes” from a reflective piece of synth-pop into a typically beautiful folk song was one of Sam Beam’s most effective reinterpretations. It was performed by the band last night on The Jimmy Fallon Show (along with the brand new song “Godless Brother In Love”, featured below). “Love V

Iron & Wine fans will have much to be happy about next month. His new tour kicks off May 4th and should be one of his best yet. I actually have legitimate reason to believe that to be true. To decide his setlist for each of these shows, he allowed his listeners to get online [...]Related Posts Iron & Wine – The Shepherd’s Dog Iron & Wine Cover New Order’s “Love Vigilantes” 3 Song

Rarities and b-side collections are tricky beasts. On the one hand, fans should be thrilled about new material from one of their favorite artists. On the other, nothing says 'avoid me' like a selection of tunes that didn't make the cut on previous records.

Originally pressed as a B-side to the Postal Service's single, this Iron & Wine tune really started bending ears when it showed up on the soundtrack for Zach Braff's Garden State. A masterful cover, it trades Jimmy Tamborello's skittering, Nintendo beats for plaintive acoustic guitar chords and Ben Gibbard's sincere yelp for Sam Beam's hushed vocal.Beam's take not only explores the tenderness ...

Here is my favorite off of the new album. I love it, but in the interest of full disclosure, I am blinded by bias when it comes to Sam Beam. He is on that same pedestal where I keep Jack White,Jeff Tweedy, and a handful of other songwriters...I just don't think these guys would release something that wasn't great
