New Iron and Wine

April 3rd, 2013 by leg

iron-and-wine-ghost-on-ghost

This new Iron and Wine song. It immediately sounds good to me. (And the album cover features one of my favorite photographs. It’s by Barbara Crane and it’s on the cover of one of my most beloved books, Private Views. Some of the photos from the book are here.) The new album comes out April 16, 2013. I’m ready.

Last night Brown Bird played at The Linda. They were impressive and powerful and I would see them play again and again because each time only gets more intense.

Then they slow danced to this song.)
