Don't hold your breath, Iron & Wine fans. (Get it!?). Sam Beam, he of the breathy voice (aw, now you get it), and the man behind I&W, is not releasing a new album, per se. But on May 19, he's dropping a double-CD (three LP) collection of rare and unreleased tracks titled Around the Well. Several of the songs on the set were originally written for the Topher Grace-Scarlett Johannsnenenen-Dennis Quaid office-comedy vehicle In Good Company including "The Trapeze Swinger," which you can grab courtesy of Sub Pop below.
MP3: Iron & Wine, "Trapeze Swinger"
The set also includes covers of the Flaming Lips "Waiting for Superman" and New Order's "Love Vigilantes." Beam's setting out on a short, five-city tour in May (dare to dream), and plans to release his next studio album in '10.

One of my biggest disappointments as a fan has to be Iron and Wine. I wish Sam Beam would still make music like this. I wish he'd lose that horrible band and go back to singing melodies.
I'm a huge fan of Sam's recorded music. His performance at ACL '08 (my first) with his band sounded monotonic (like his newer music) and he'd rewritten his melodies to match.
It was so bad that I even spent 10 minutes stumbling my way through the crowd to get close, just to see if maybe the outdoor acoustics wast the culprit. Unfortunately it was not.
Less IRON, more wine (whine?), please.
