Iron & Wine’s Who Can See Forever is an accompanying live record to the film of the same name. Captured at Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, North Carolina, the soundtrack features nineteen songs from the twenty plus year career of singer-songwriter Sam Beam. Having found inventive ways to re-invent his catalog live over the years, Who Can See Forever offers new and fresh versions of Iron & Wine songs including “The Trapeze Swinger”, “Boy With a Coin” and “Naked As We Came.” The film – initially intended as a live concert film – evolved into a visual portrait capturing Beam during a creative outburst that earned him four Grammy nominations in four years. Like his music, the film touches on universally personal themes as Beam juggles being an artist, husband and father. Taken as one, the soundtrack and film are a fascinating first-time glimpse behind-the-scenes of Iron & Wine.

In 2005, Sam Beam – the brains behind Iron & Wine – got in touch with Joey Burns and John Convertino, of Calexico. The resulting 7-track EP, In the Reins, achieved cult status. The three artists became the talk of the Americana scene; Beam as the rising star, and the Arizonan duo as the gold standard. “In my mind, I was a guy who knew three chords and recorded in a closet,” reminisces Beam, “They were playing big stages and were superb musicians. I loved all their different sounds. They’re musical anthropologists, not regurgitating but absorbing what they discover.” Fifteen years later, they’ve gone down different paths but remained close, to the point where they decided that this time, they’d make a real album together. “Coming back to the project has to do with acknowledging how much impact the first record had for me in my life”, confesses Iron & Wine’s leader.

Iron & Wine follow up their 2018 Grammy-nominated full-length Beast Epic with Weed Garden, a collection of material that began about three years ago. The six-song EP features songs that were part of the writing phase for Beast Epic, but went unfinished. They were part of a larger narrative for principal songwriter Sam Beam, who ran out of time to get them where they needed to be for inclusion on Beast Epic. Weed Garden also includes the fan favorite “Waves of Galveston.” While on tour last fall, the final pieces of material took shape and a sense of urgency prevailed in bringing these characters full circle. To resolution. To completion. In January, Beam and company hunkered down in Chicago at The Loft recording studio to capture these six songs. No more, no less. Weed Garden joins the good company of previous Iron & Wine EP’s – The Sea and Rhythm, Woman King, In the Reins – and in 2018’s attention-span challenged world that’s not a bad thing.

15 years after the release of The Creek Drank The Cradle, Iron & Wine’s superb pristine first album, Sam Beam has become a recognised songwriter who has taken his Americana in multiple directions. The musician has managed to evolve from naked folk music to a richer instrumentation. However, he’s often at his most convincing in a more refined style with a stripped-down production. This is the case with this Beast Epic that appears to be a return to the roots of his first albums (Our Endless Numbered Days). This feeling is amplified by the fact that Beam reunites with the label that launched his career: Sub Pop Records. Melancholic but not depressing, romantic without being overly attached, this is an album that examines intimacy with grace. And it leaves us wondering why Iron & Wine has avoided going back to basics for so long. Welcome home!
