That sense of musical evolution makes Around the Well a particularly compelling listening, and Beam's sensitive readings of songs by Stereolab, the Flaming Lips, the Postal Service, and New Order show how sturdy his sound can be, as he translates them to quieter settings without losing their heraldic sentiments.
-
Resplendent with Beam's raw, whispered tones and snatched memories wrapped in the warmth and emotional calamity Iron And Wine are known for, it's vintage stuff.
