Following the swampier sounds of the last Iron & Wine album Sam Beam seems to have head for more soul-infused pastures from what we’ve heard of the new LP Ghost On Ghost. Here is the first video to come from the album for the song Joy. The album is out now via Nonesuch Records.
So many people are starting to base their listening on songs these days, such is the reduction in attention spans, the proliferation of YouTube browsing and the ease of compiling ones own playlists featuring the best stuff you want to hear. Separate to my Top 50 LPs of 2011 I’ve also put together a list of songs that caught my ears and became hard to shake. There were of course dozens of others that could be included here but this is a lucky dip of sorts into some of my favourite tunes of 2011 that might lead you further into the artist’s work if you havent checked them out yet…
In no particular order as they are all great…
