Album Review
Iron & Wine was one of the surprises of 2002. The Creek Drank the Cradle was a lo-fi melancholic gem of a record that drew apt comparisons to classic bedroom pop artists like Lou Barlow and Sebadoh, the Mountain Goats, and Nick Drake. Sam Beam, the man behind Iron & Wine, possesses a honey-soft voice that caresses his literate lyrics so very gently and a dense guitar style that fills up space without ever playing a wrong note. So often voice-and-guitar records can begin to sound monotonous, and Iron & Wine never even approaches that shortcoming. The Sea & the Rhythm is a five-track EP made up of songs recorded at the same time as Creek. Low-key, melancholy, and unfailingly beautiful, all the songs are good enough to have been on the album. "Beneath the Balcony" and "Jesus the Mexican Boy" have the crispest melodies; "Someday the Waves" is the song that will stick with you the longest. It sounds like a lost Crosby, Stills & Nash track, only without hippie-ish lyrics and with only one guy creating the towering vocal harmonies. The Sea & the Rhythm is a lovely stopgap to help ease the painful wait for the next Iron & Wine album — 21 minutes of sweet, quiet pain.
Customer Reviews
great ep
This EP was allegedly taken form the same recording sessions as the Creek Drank The Cradle, and it posseses the same intimate beauty as the debut record.
One Of His Best
Rivaling the majestic beauty of his debut album and as crisp as Our Endless Numbered Days, this EP is worth every penny. At under five dollars, there is no way to justify not buying it immediately. "The Sea And The Rhythm" may be the best track on the album. This is Iron & Wine at its best, let's hope that this band will not go unrecognized for much longer.
Simply Beautiful
Having seen Iron and Wine in concert multiple times, and owning every album, i will say that there is nothing that can compair to the pure musical beauty of Sam's voice. This is hands down, my absolute favorite CD in my extensive collection. Nothing can compair
