Iron & Wine

Following excellent reviews for new album Beast Epic, Iron & Wine has announced a series of UK & Ireland dates as part of a European tour for February 2018, calling on Birmingham, Dublin, Manchester and London.

Critical acclaim for Beast Epic, out now on Sub Pop:

"Iron & Wine’s sixth album essays yet more romantic, Americana–tinged songwriting… The songs may be modest, but their sure–footed craft creates profound, 12 tog comfort" - The Guardian ****

"The record unfolds its songs of faith, hope and sudden clarity slowly, little glints and catches commanding attention. It might not look like its going to leap out and grab you, but Beam here launches a soft emotional punch." MOJO ****

"Beam employs pastoral and ecclesiastical imagery to capture those moments of rapture, regret and redemption that become life markers." Uncut – 8/10

"Beast Epic marks a loop back to the more insular feel of his earlier material, from the bare–boned opener Claim Your Ghost to the gentle warmth of Call It Dreaming. The result is surprisingly refreshing – a kind of father–to–son conversation between songwriter and song." Q ****
