Singer-songwriter Sam Beam, aka Iron & Wine, has revealed his new album Hen’s Teeth is dropping next month.
Iron & Wine’s eighth studio album is set for release on Friday 27 February via Sub Pop (pre-order here) and has been called a companion of sorts to his 2024 record Light Verse.
Written and recorded in the LA studio of engineer Dave Way (Fiona Apple, Jakob Dylan, Sheryl Crow), the album features a stack of special guests, including Beam’s daughter Arden, American trio I’m With Her, David Garza, Sebastian Steinberg, Tyler Chester, Griffin Goldsmith, Beth Goodfellow, Kyle Crane and Paul Cartwright.
Speaking about the album title in press material, Beam said: “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.”
Accompanying the announcement of Hen’s Teeth is the music video for the single ‘In Your Ocean’. Directed by Spencer Kelly, the clip stars Briana Morell and Connor Jacobs as a couple struggling to open a jar at dinner. Watch below.
