Description

Miami's Sam Beam makes music under the name Iron and Wine and September, 2002 saw the release of his debut album, 'The Creek Drank the Cradle'. That record was/is hushed, literate, intimate, melodic: a quiet treasure which, with its unaffected candor and depth, found fans all over.

'Our Endless Numbered Days' is the second full-length album from Iron and Wine and it was recorded both at Sam's Miami home and in Chicago's Engine Studios with Brian Deck (Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova, etc.) On it, Sam is aided and abetted by regular touring and recording conspirators: his sister Sarah Beam, Patrick McKinney, Jeff McGriff, EJ Holowicki, and Jonathan Bradley. Listening to Our Endless Numbered Days makes plain Sam's deft touch with words and melody; one that allows him to turn out stories about love, loss, faith, or the lack of it that are at once personal and universal, set to music that is sweetly haunting and timeless.

Press Reviews

ENDLESS flows mellifluously with sparkling, fingerpicked acoustic guitars and thick vocals. CMJ (3/15/04, p.4)

Ranked #11 in Magnet's "The 20 Best Albums Of 2004" - "Sam Beam's voice never rises above a hushed whisper, an his fingerpicked acoustic guitar unfurls like time-lapse photography. Magnet (p.67)

4 stars out of 5 - "[A]n extended treatise on human mortality and the inevitable passing of time - glowering existentialism glimpsed through sweet, Southern fecundity....Contrastingly life-affirming. Mojo (p.93)

[T]he songs unfold like hopeful prayers before the musicians launch them skyward....He writes with the self-confidence of a man at peace with his gauzy gifts." - Grade: A Spin (4/04, pp.89-91)

4 stars out of 5 - "[Beam is a] quietly compelling songwriter, one whose shyness complements his music rather than undermines it. Uncut (5/04, p.106)
