Iron & Wine, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Sam Beam, will release their eighth full-length album and sixth for Sub Pop, entitled Hen’s Teeth, worldwide on February 27th.
Hen’s Teeth arrives fully formed but sits as a sibling record, of sorts, to 2024’s acclaimed and Grammy-nominated Light Verse. Its seeds were sewn during the multiple sessions done over the last few years in the foothills of Los Angeles with studio owner/engineer Dave Way (Fiona Apple, Jakob Dylan, Sheryl Crow) at the helm. The record features many familiar names from the Iron & Wine universe - David Garza, Sebastian Steinberg, Tyler Chester, Griffin Goldsmith, Beth Goodfellow, Kyle Crane and Paul Cartwright – lending their talents to a collection of songs that while complimentary in nature had their own distinct feel. Hen’s Teeth includes a few new fresh voices, the Grammy-winning Americana trio I’m With Her - Sarah Jarosz, Aiofe O’Donovan and Sara Watkins - are featured on two tracks. The trio bring their harmonizing prowess to the ebullient track, “Robin’s Egg, ” and in the tender, mournful “Wait Up” they make more with less on a song that is sure to become a fan favorite. The record also marks the recording debut of Arden Beam. Arden (one of Beam’s daughters) contributes harmonies and backing vocals on “Roses, ” “Singing Saw,” “Defiance, Ohio,” and “Grace Notes.” Her contributions lend a personal poignancy and a wonderful sonic texture to Hen’s Teeth.The title Hen’s Teeth, much like the birth of this record, takes its inspiration as something that should not exist; a happy accident that fell out of enjoying the company of the aforementioned players in a setting that offered creativity and inspiration. As Beam states : “To me it suggests the impossible. Hen’s teeth do not exist. And that’s what this record felt like: a gift that shouldn’t be there but it is. An impossible thing but it’s real. ”
Today, Iron & Wine has shared an official video for their sonically poignant track, “In Your Ocean. ” It’s one of several songs on Hen’s Teeth in which lovers are depicted as so deeply entwined they physically merge. “Praying for dry ground / Though I only want to drown / When I find myself swimming in your ocean.”
