Iron & Wine: A new album on the way!

That man that induces beard-envy in every young hippy Mr Samuel Beam aka 'folk' act Iron & Wine has announced the tracklist to his new long player The Shepherd's Dog today.

This will be the follow up to one of uberpingpong's favorite albums of 2004 Our Endless Numbered Days. Mr Beam then delivered a 7-track stunner with Calexico in full band mode entitled In The Reins in 2005. Check them out if you haveny already because man they are waiting!


The Shepherd's Dog will arrive in September (thats just in time for my birthday, hint) and the tracklist looks like this:

1. Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car
2. White Tooth Man
3. Lovesong of the Buzzard
4. Carousel
5. House by the Sea
6. Innocent Bones
7. Wolves (Song of the Shepherd's Dog)
8. Resurrection Fern
9. Boy With a Coin
10. The Devil Never Sleeps
11. Peace Beneath the City
12. Flightless Bird, American Mouth

Start rumors now that the first single will be Boy With a Coin and that it will arrive slightly before the album, and that a tour will be announced soon-ish. I for one can't wait.
