I've had this album for months now, and I've been really enjoying it but it's only now the clocks have gone forward that it's starting to sink in properly.

House By The Sea is becoming my go-to song on this disc. Such an unexpected sound for Sam Beam; It's almost highlife!
I was frustrated with the lyrics on Sheppard's Dog for a while, since they are harder (for me) to interpret than the lyrics on Iron & Wine's prior discs, but now I've let that feeling go and the poetry in these lyrics is opening up for me a bit more.

new album out january 25. maybe i'll start a thread on it, but i figure it would only appeal to maybe four or five posters. i think beam's an amazing talent, and i like the sound now that, more and more, he's fleshing out the instrumentation and arrangements.

Nice! Didn't know he had a new one coming out (although it has been awhile). Have you heard the assorted b-sides disc that was released about a year ago? I haven't checked it out yet, but read some good things about it.

i'd almost forgotten about Iron and Wine. Going back to some of their stuff now and it's still really good. one of these mid-2000s hype bands that haven't aged badly at all.
