{"product_id":"sea-the-rhythm","title":"Sea \u0026 the Rhythm","description":"Iron \u0026amp; Wine: Samuel Beam.\u003cbr\u003eIron \u0026amp; Wine was one of the surprises of 2002. The Creek Drank the Cradle was a lo-fi melancholic gem of a record that drew apt comparisons to classic bedroom pop artists like Lou Barlow and Sebadoh, the Mountain Goats, and Nick Drake. Sam Beam, the man behind Iron \u0026amp; Wine, possesses a honey-soft voice that caresses his literate lyrics so very gently and a dense guitar style that fills up space without ever playing a wrong note. So often voice-and-guitar records can begin to sound monotonous, and Iron \u0026amp; Wine never even approaches that shortcoming. The Sea \u0026amp; the Rhythm is a five-track EP made up of songs recorded at the same time as Creek. Low-key, melancholy, and unfailingly beautiful, all the songs are good enough to have been on the album. \"Beneath the Balcony\" and \"Jesus the Mexican Boy\" have the crispest melodies; \"Someday the Waves\" is the song that will stick with you the longest. It sounds like a lost Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash track, only without hippie-ish lyrics and with only one guy creating the towering vocal harmonies. The Sea \u0026amp; the Rhythm is a lovely stopgap to help ease the painful wait for the next Iron \u0026amp; Wine album -- 21 minutes of sweet, quiet pain. ~ Tim Sendra","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45290299031839,"sku":"098787061918","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/2f0fbe3372760fa35b9e334f43e6181a_71b5d384-6455-492f-bf34-1e6a00059d3e.jpg?v=1777591314","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/sea-the-rhythm","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
