Watch: Iron & Wine Showcases ‘Joy’ Video

Iron & Wine is releasing his brand new album today and to celebrate, you can take a look at the brand new video for ‘Joy’.

Moving away from ‘the anxious tension’ of his fourth album ‘Kiss Each Other Clean’, Sam Beam releases ‘Ghost On Ghost’ through 4AD today (15th April) and, in turn, has unveiled the new Hayley Morris-directed clip.

Created by “projecting hand-painted water color animations into stop-motion landscapes’, you can watch the video below.



Produced by long-time collaborator Brian Deck, Beam’s new twelve-track effort features an array of contributing artists including Rob Burger of Tin Hat Trio, Steve Bernstein, Tony Scherr, Kenny Wollesen, and Briggan Krauss of Sex Mob, jazz drummer Brian Blade, trombonist Curtis Fowlkes of the Jazz Passengers, bassist Tony Garnier , cellist Marika Hughes, Maxim Moston and Doug Wieselman of Antony and the Johnsons, and Anja Wood.
