Sub Pop Records : Iron and Wine : Around the Well

IRON AND WINE

Around the Well - SP808

Collecting songs ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released, Around the Well spans Iron and Wine’s earliest sessions which yielded the band’s debut (2002’s The Creek Drank the Cradle) through material recorded for 2007’s The Shepherd’s Dog. The double-disc Around the Well collection is broken up into two sections. The first half is an assortment of hushed home recordings, unedited and raw, and the second highlights moments captured in the confines of proper studios with the help of other musicians, friends and engineers. The album’s title comes from a line in the song “The Trapeze Swinger,” a fan favorite which was written for and included in the movie In Good Company. Three more songs written and recorded for the film finally make their appearance here as well: “Belated Promise Ring,” “God Made the Automobile” and “Homeward, These Shoes.” Around the Well also brings together hard-to-find covers such as The Flaming Lips’ “Waitin’ for a Superman” and New Order’s “Love Vigilantes,” along with one of Iron and Wine’s earliest originals, “Sacred Vision.” In support of Around the Well, this May Iron and Wine will perform ten intimate shows in five cities. In addition, Iron and Wine have begun work on the follow-up to The Shepherd’s Dog and plan to release a new album in spring, 2010.

Released: 2009-05-19 (2xCD), 2009-05-19 (3xLP)

digital version

is there a download coupon with the vinyls, not that it would make a difference for the purchase, I’m buying it either way, but it would be sweet to listen to this in my car too!

I didn't get one!

Are the digital download coupons new? I brought an LP copy of The Creek Drank the Cradle off Amazon last May and didn’t get one:(

TYPO-Wrong Song Title on AMAZON

Just was on Amazon.com pining for the new album and noticed they have “Homeward These Shoes” listed as “Homeward, These Shores.”
