The Oedipus Project
Samuel Beam is the artist known as Iron & Wine.
Over the course of his career he has slowly expanded his repertoire from bedroom troubadour to band leader while exploring different musical genres but always featuring his gentle voice.
Ghost on Ghost, his 5th album, has elements of pop and jazz as heard here on “Grace for Saints and Ramblers”.
Bonnaroo, the four day music and arts festival, begins today in Manchester, Tennessee.
This is the tenth year and the lineup is stellar.
In celebration of Bonnaroo, RCRDLBL has released from their archives a free download of 24 bands performing this year including Arcade Fire, Florence and the Machine, Sleigh Bells, Best Coast, Iron & Wine, and the Black Angels among others.
Featured here is Twin Shadow, the nom de plume of George Lewis, Jr., who developed his chops in Boston before reinventing himself in Brooklyn.
“I Can’t Wait” is from his debut album Forget.
