Kiss Each Other Clean, Iron amp Wines fourth fulllength record, was originally released in 2011 and came three years after his biggest selling record up to that point, The Shepherds Dog.
The bands two earlier albums had been sparse, intimate solo affairs that offered no hint of the direction he would take with records three and four.
Like The Shepherds Dog, Kiss Each Other Clean is layered with textures, polyrhythmic sounds and a more is more approach.His lyrics sprung to life in ways initially unimaginable to early fans and critics helping each song tell its story and build to climaxes thru various sounds and editing techniques.
However what remained at the core of KEOC, and what fans of the band had come to love, was the song writing and singing of principle songwriter Sam Beam.
Beams ability to invite you in with his hushed singing tone and knack for a melody remained front and center even in his drive to replicate something in the vein of Waits.Swordfishtormbones Principle recording for KEOC was at home in Dripping Springs, Texas.
After laying down the bulk of the record Beam moved recording to Chicago to work with Brian Deck.
A cast of musicians helped Beam find his sound and see his vision for KEOC including Joe Adamik Califone, Jim Becker Califone, Thomas Bartlett Doveman, Stuart Bogie Antibalas, Rob Burger Tin Hat Trio, Benny Massarella Red Red MeatCalifone, Chad Taylor Chicago Underground Duo and Matt Lux Isotope 217.With KEOC, Beam and company brought in soft rock smoothness, dub reggae textures, and instruments that hadnt been featured on previous records.
The vintage synths on Monkeys Uptown, the Stevie Wonder funk on Big Burned Hand,, the strum and drang of Walking Far From Home all give the otherwise very organicsounding arrangements a welcome cheesy kick.
The record also produced the biggest radio single of the bands career with the vintage AM friendly vibes of Tree by the River.
It was an adventurous period in the career in Iron amp Wine and one in which Beam was defying categorization.Ghost on Ghost is Iron amp Wines fifth fulllength record and was originally released in 2013.
The album found Sam Beam, the bands principle member, working once again with longtime associate Brian Deck Modest Mouse, Califone.
The record marks the last time the two would work together on a journey that began with the bands second record, Endless Numbered Days.
It also marked a shift for the two from working in Chicago to setting up in New York City.
The idea behind the move was to tap into the creative musical community New York had to offer.The lineup that helped bring Beams vision for Ghost on Ghost to life included a whos who from the jazz community as well as the deep wells of outside art including Steve Bernstein Sex MobLevon Helm Band, Rob Burger Tin Hat Trio, Brian Blade, Curtis Fowlkes The Jazz Passengers, Tony Garnier Bob Dylan Band, Marika Hughes, Briggan Kraus, Maxim Moston, Tony Scherr The Lounge Lizards, Doug Wieselman, Kenny Wolleson Tom WatisJohn Zorn and Anja Wood.
The level of talent on Ghost on Ghost far surpassed anything Beam ever imagined when he first began writing songs as Iron and Wine on his fourtrack.Upon completing the Ghost on Ghost , Beam jokingly referred to the recording process as a reward to myself after years of chasing sounds by himself.
Being able have the finest in musicians in New York City perform on the record, elevating these songs into places he never imagined Beam stated, it was an honor really inspiring.
