Iron & Wine: New Music Live

The always-reliable Sam Beam (aka Iron & Wine) recently dropped by WNYC to play a bunch of new tunes from his upcoming album. One of the amazing things about Iron & Wine is that Beam always manages to deliver what you'd expect from him, but his revolving door of bandmates offer enough new flourishes to make it seem fresh. The second track is funkier than anything I've heard from Beam, yet it's unmistakably Iron & Wine. And the third song makes them sound like Vampire Weekend's hippie uncles -- with oboe!

You can watch the full hour-long concert here, then use the links below to pre-order the first must-have album of 2011.
