Album Description
Available in:
"Beast Epic" is the sixth full-length studio album by Iron & Wine, released August 25, 2017 on the Sub Pop label. Sam Beam brings Iron & Wine full circle on his sixth album, using the warm acoustic instrumentation of his early work and some of the most moving singing of his career.
The album was recorded live by Tom Schick at The Loft in Chicago.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 82, based on 19 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim".
User Album Review
So when Beast Epic opens with a few seconds of Beam counting off under his breath and gently tapping the rhythm on the body of his acoustic guitar, it’s like wrapping a warm blanket around a cold body. It is the sound of Iron & Wine returning home, ending one chapter and beginning another. Beam knows this: In the record’s forward, he writes, “The ferris wheel keeps spinning and we’re constantly approaching, leaving or returning to something totally unexpected or startlingly familiar.” He finds comfort in retracing his own steps. This doesn’t mean sacrificing production value or abandoning the use of outside players, but everything here takes a backseat to Beam’s melodies. When subtleties appear—the vocal harmonies that underscore the emotional swells of “Bitter Truth,” the despondent violins and dusty pianos echoing from what sounds like another room in “Summer Clouds”—they are in service of songs that could stand comfortably without them. Working as his own producer with a live recording style and few overdubs, Beam has never sounded more in control.
