IRON AND WINE- Our Endless Numbered Days
Folk art enthusiasts spend their summer Sundays scouring the countryside looking for individuals who, finding time away from their fecund fields and family feasts, crudely fashion beautiful creations, as though harvested from their rich pastoral life. Aesthetically, Samuel Beam, a.k.a. Iron and Wine, is a field worker like this, plowing the soil for rugged beauty and earthy truth, a real accomplishment for a Floridian (a state that seems more waterlogged than earthbound, and orange groves don’t seem to have the right old-time feel besides). Filling the space left open tragically with the passing of Eliot Smith, Iron and Wine has a similar gentleness and subtle pop sensibility, ideal for quiet reveries and long afternoons in the sun. Forgoing the low-fidelity of Beam’s first, The Creek Drank The Cradle, Our Endless Numbered Days reveals Iron and Wine in all their wealth and finery: a beam of pure light illuminating shafts of forever moving dust.
