Iron & Wine’s Hen’s Teeth is out today, February 27th Worldwide from Sub Pop. The album features singles “In Your Ocean,” “Roses,” “Robin’s Egg (feat. I’m With Her),” and an official video for the release-week offering, “Wait Up (feat. I’m With Her) which was animated by Callum Scott Dyson.
 
Hen’s Teeth arrives fully formed but sits as a sibling record, of sorts, to 2024’s acclaimed and Grammy-nominated Light Verse. Its seeds were sewn during multiple sessions over the last few years in the foothills of Los Angeles, with studio owner/engineer Dave Way (Fiona Apple, Jakob Dylan, Sheryl Crow) at the helm. The record features many familiar names from the Iron & Wine universe - David Garza, Sebastian Steinberg, Tyler Chester, Griffin Goldsmith, Beth Goodfellow, Kyle Crane, and Paul Cartwright – lending their talents to a collection of songs that, while complementary in nature, had their own distinct feel. 
 
Iron & Wine will appear on CBS Saturday Morning, tomorrow, February 28th, performing intimate versions of “In Your Ocean,” “Roses,” and “Singing Saw.” Their Australia & New Zealand tour will also begin on February 28th in Perth, AU, with headline dates in North America running from April to May and in October.

What people are saying about Hen’s Teeth:

 “As one of the most consistently compelling musicians of his era, Sam Beam continues a streak of good albums that is decidedly yet to meet its end. - Paste

“‘In Your Ocean’ is anything but obvious. Here we have a dense and absorbing, bluegrass-flecked rock tune…”- AV CLUB
 
“‘In Your Ocean’ sees Beam singing about a love so deep that he wants to physically merge with his partner: “Praying for dry ground / Though I only want to drown / When I find myself swimming in your ocean”, Beam sings.” - NME
 
“Sam Beam’s new album of stupendous Americana… Whether it’s the rollicking folk rock of In Your Ocean or the delicate urgency of Grace Notes, Hen’s Teeth is benchmark roots music from start to finish.” - [4 stars ****] MOJO
 
“Sam Beam finds musical liberation where folk and jazz meet… Hen’s Teeth captures something rare and precious: a sumptuous spirit which doesn’t have to try too hard to seduce the listener.” -
