Iron & Wine (aka Sam Beam) is releasing a new album, Light Verse, on April 26 via Sub Pop. Now he's shared his third single, “Anyone's Game,” via an animated music video. Check it out below.
Callum Scott-Dyson directed the song's video and said in a press release: “I used card cutouts in a stop motion style, drawing the elements by hand before cutting and painting them. I wanted the video to explore themes of evolution, the cyclical nature of life, falling in love and breaking up, and life sometimes being like a game of chance.”
Previously, Iron & Wine shared the album's first single, “You Never Know,” which was one of the songs of the week. He then shared his second single, “All in Good Time,” which is a duet with Fiona Apple. The string song plays like a classic country duet from the 1970s and was also one of the songs of the week.
The album also features Tyler Chester (keyboards), Sebastian Steinberg (bass), David Garza (guitar), Griffin Goldsmith, Beth Goodfellow, Kyle Crane (all drums/percussion), and Paul Cartwright (strings). Four songs feature a 24-piece orchestra.
Beam produced the album itself, which was mixed and engineered by Dave Way at Waystation and Silent Zoo Studios in Los Angeles. Next is 2017 Beast Epic and 2018 Weed garden ER.
