Charles Barkley Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Hey Y'all, As I was browsing Bull Moose today, I noticed that there was a new Iron & Wine EP available for pre order. It's six tracks, and looks to be released on 8/31/2018. Looks like there is nothing on Sam's actual site yet, but you know how it goes! Bull Moose Track Title 1 What Hurts Worse 2 Waves of Galveston 3 Last of Your Rock ’n’ Roll Heroes 4 Milkweed 5 Autumn Town Leaves 6 Talking to Fog "Iron & Wine follow up their 2018 Grammy-nominated full-length Beast Epic with Weed Garden, a collection of material that began about three years ago. The six-song EP features songs that were part of the writing phase for Beast Epic, but went unfinished. They were part of a larger narrative for principal songwriter Sam Beam, who ran out of time to get them where they needed to be for inclusion on Beast Epic. Weed Garden also includes the fan favorite “Waves of Galveston.” While on tour last fall, the final pieces of material took shape and a sense of urgency prevailed in bringing these characters full circle. To resolution. To completion. In January, Beam and company hunkered down in Chicago at The Loft recording studio to capture these six songs. No more, no less. Weed Garden joins the good company of previous Iron & Wine EP’s – The Sea and Rhythm, Woman King, In the Reins – and in 2018’s attention-span challenged world that's not a bad thing."

DC1221 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) New song Also just noticed "Iron & Wine" isn't listed under Current Artists on the Sub Pop website anymore. Weird. Edited July 24, 2018 by DC1221 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I think he’s not a “current artist” because he’s doing it through his own label. My gas is Sub Pop/Universal is helping with distribution/promotion and whatnot. So he’s not technically a SP artist.

He's listed as a current artist now. timsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simple_torture Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If you ordered the black vinyl from Bullmoose like 2 weeks ago (like I did), a quick Twitter DM to them and they'll change it to the loser version. Charles Barkley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) "Waves of Galveston" is on Spotify now, too, and it's a good one. Very in-line with Beast Epic, which I was a huge fan of.

Vinyl Fury Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Got the tape. Sounds great, excellent collection of songs. If anyone would be so kind as to share a digital version, I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in contact with them about it--they thought they were still waiting for their order, weren't sure why it was delayed from the label/distributor. Turns out a few days later that the box was in a corner and no one had noticed it. They assured me it would be on its way soon.

I figured it would be in the same box as my Sufjan Stevens, so I was a little weirded out when it came solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hopefully this is the case going forward, but this sleeve is tip on and really nice. The insert is really interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no movement on it--card not charged, not switched to "Packaged" on BM's site--so they are running a bit behind. They went like 3 days this week without posting on Twitter, so they must be swamped with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
