The great Sam Beam will be plugging new album, Beast Epic.
With an impossibly gorgeous new album to plug, Iron And Wine, heads to Dublin’s Helix Theatre on February 14, 2018 – Happy Valentine’s or what?
Tickets go on sale this Friday, price TBC.
We’re looking forward to hearing ‘Thomas County Law’, ‘Bitter Truth’, ‘About A Bruise’, ‘The Truest Stars We Know’ and the other standouts from that Beast Epic LP of his.
“I have been and always will be fascinated by the way time asserts itself on our bodies and our hearts,” the Artist Also Known As Seam Beam reflects. “The ferris wheel keeps spinning and we’re constantly approaching, leaving or returning to something totally unexpected or startlingly familiar. The rite of passage is an image I’ve returned to often because I feel we’re all constantly in some stage of transition.
“Beast Epic is saturated with this idea but in a different way simply because each time I return to the theme, I’ve collected new experiences to draw from. Where the older songs painted a picture of youth moving wide-eyed into adulthood’s violent pleasures and disappointments, this collection speaks to the beauty and pain of growing up after you’ve already grown up. For me, that experience has been more generous in its gifts and darker in its tragedies.”
