Under the name Iron & Wine, singer-songwriter Samuel Beam expounds upon the sound established on his 2007 album, “The Shepherd’s Dog,” with his 2011 effort, “Kiss Each Other Clean.” The release, far different from his earlier work, features unrestrained instrumentation and refined pop melodies. […]
