Over the course of his ten-year career, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam has become one of today’s greatest story tellers, crafting meticulous tales full of forlorn love, religious imagery and wistful dreams. His studio effort, The Shepherd’s Dog, was widely praised by fans and critics alike. While Beam’s early albums were sparse, intimate solo affairs, Shepherd’s introduced layered textures and poly-rhythmic sounds that allowed his lyrics to spring to life – including on his sonic collage, Kiss Each Other Clean. The result is a brighter, more focused record that retains the idiosyncratic elements that make Iron & Wine such an engaging band.

Wittenberg

Trouble brews in the hallowed halls of Wittenberg University as professors
Martin Luther and Doctor Faustus duel for the allegiance of their pupil—Prince Hamlet. From tennis and beer to soliloquies over skulls, Davalos’s imaginative comedy of 17th century college life mixes slapstick and wordplay with a philosophical exploration of reason versus faith, played out in a zany spin on classic characters—real and imaginary!
