Iron & Wine

[tristy]

Does anyone else besides Shibby & I like them? They're kinda like Nine Inch Nails (not really, just based on the fact that it's a one man band + contributors). It's really simple music, and I guess it's folk. It's beautiful music, to me atleast. Amazon.com says it's depressing (or something) but I don't think it is. Just somber songs.

If you've heard of Iron & Wine in the past few years, it's most likely because of the movie, Garden State (covered "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service) or that M&Ms commerical which has the same song on it.

You know... I think Postal Service covered "Such Great Heights" but I may be wrong...

As for Iron & Wine, it's like the folk music all the emo kids at my school listen to (Because the subject matter is really depressing). I happen to enjoy Iron & Wine a lot. But definitely gets too depressed for me if I listen to too much at once.

I like "Such Great Heights" ... But that's about the only song I've heard by them.

Iron & Wine are one of my favourite bands at the moment. They're playing Bristol on April 22nd and as much as I want to go I can't. "Woman King" > "Such Great Heights"

I loves me some Iron & Wine. Prefer the stripped I&W stuff, compared with the tracks done with Calexico, but then again, I think the full band merely adds to Sam Beam's wholesomeness (if that's a word).

And are they touring anywhere else in the UK? I'd look myself, but it's early.

Oh, and Iron & Wine's cover of Such Great Heights is now used in the ask.com adverts.

I've been an Iron and Wine-o (See what I did there, lol Kou you so funny.) for a couple of years now. Since I have a new wipe of my HD and Beatnik's Send-A-Thon didn't include any Iron & Wine I'm off to "purchase" some more music.

[Reflecto Is My Favorite Poster]

They play them often at my school's coffeehouse. I'd definitely say they're good, considering that I'll actually listen to them despite the fact that I REALLY hate folk music.

[daileyxplanet]

Such Great Heights is a Postal Service song that Iron and Wine originally covered for the 'Such Great Heights' single.

Somewhat related, the Shins' cover of We Will Become Silhouettes is really fun.

[Guest Professor Kou]

Iron & Wine is one big sexy man (From my knowledge >_>) so stop saying them.

You're right, but force of habit

Or are you Sam Beam, angered by our words?

If so, send me some CDs.

[Big Red Fury]

I also enjoy, just actually bought the iTune for The Trapeze Swinger earlier this week. It's one of the main songs in the movie In Good Company.
