Iron and Wine - Around the Well (2009)


A double album of unreleased tracks. For fans of Iron & Wine, or anyone who likes mellow, meditative folk music. 23 tracks is a bit much, but some of these songs are as good as anything he's written, such as "The Trapeze Swinger" (his songs are generally best in small doses, but this 8-minute piece is probably my favorite from him), "Morning," "Swans and the Swimming," No Moon," and "Kingdom of Animals." There are covers of songs by New Order, The Postal Service, The Flaming Lips, and Stereolab. Definitely worth a listen for fans of this type of music, but it won't appeal to anyone else. mediafire
