{"product_id":"iron-wine-sea-the-rhythm","title":"SEA \u0026 THE RHYTHM","description":"Iron \u0026amp; Wine: Samuel Beam.\nIron \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Wine never even approaches that shortcoming. The Sea \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Nash track, only without hippie-ish lyrics and with only one guy creating the towering vocal harmonies. The Sea \u0026amp; the Rhythm is a lovely stopgap to help ease the painful wait for the next Iron \u0026amp; Wine album -- 21 minutes of sweet, quiet pain. ~ Tim Sendra","brand":"Iron \u0026 Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44594955157737,"sku":"WGQBH5-ER7P-00","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/iron-wine-sea-the-rhythm_hQt38.jpg?v=1759349277","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/iron-wine-sea-the-rhythm","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
