"The Trapeze Swinger" from upcoming Around The Well
The Shepherd's Dog Alternate Tracks
Collecting songs ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released, Around the Well (set for release on Sub Pop May 19, 2009) spans Iron & 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 2004 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 & Wine's earliest originals, "Sacred Vision." In support of Around the Well, this May Iron & Wine will perform ten intimate shows in five cities. In addition, Iron & Wine have begun work on the follow-up to The Shepherd's Dog and plan to release a new album in spring, 2010.
