The dude from Iron and Wine has an awesome beard. I'd like to see him have a 'Beard-off' with the drummer from Om. Beards rule. They make you feel like a proper man and you can totally change your look without the need for surgery. 'Boy With A Coin'... is Iron And Wine's single on Sub Pop / Transgressive and is a haunting little number with delicate piano and his soulful vocal. 10" and CD like.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

OVERVIEW: 'Boy With A Coin', the first single to be taken from forthcoming album 'The Shepherd's Dog', is darkly playful, tumbling under its cascading melody and backwards guitar textures. A worthy example of the highest standard of songwriting displayed on the rest of the album and marks a departure in style from Beam's previous work, without betraying his blissful Americana roots. The B-sides, available on all formats and exclusive to this release, are the roaming piano ballad 'Kingdom of the Animals' and 'Carried Home'. Iron & Wine's long awaited third full-length The Shepherd's Dog will be released on September 24th. The follow up to ‘Our Endless Numbered Days’ and the ‘Woman King’,
