The Shepherd's Dog

by Iron and Wine

The Shepherd's Dog cover art

Sam Beam moves away from lo-fi simplicity towards a rich, textured sound on 'The Shepherd's Dog'. The album incorporates world music rhythms, dub influences, and psychedelic touches into his folk songwriting. It is a dense, lyrically abstract record that rewards deep listening.
