IRON & WINE - OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS

This is a wonderful piece of art for an indie folk album. It’s the best visual representation of the feeling of the album.

The introspection and self awareness of those halcyon days when you have had time to languish around in the grass and clover sum up both his laid back finger picking and downbeat breathy vocals.
 
Iron & Wine has only just made the transition to studio recordings after years as a bedroom song-writer so the expressionist painting style does capture some of his warm folksy vibe even if this album has higher production values than earlier work.

The singles from the album carry across the artistic direction using a sleeping Sam Beam as the focus. These could have been artist roughs before completing the final albums cover painting.

My personal favourite song from the album:
