Iron & Wine Perform A New Song (And A New Order Song) For Jimmy Fallon

Iron & Wine's Around The Well collection came out yesterday, but instead of playing something from it on Fallon, Sam Beam, his sister Sarah, and pianist did a new track, "Godless Brother In Love." It has the same sort of pathos as the recently unearthed "Homeward These Shoes," but instead of disappearing after a minute, it builds into something bigger. (It's interesting seeing the mellow, spacious song bookmarked by Fallon, someone seemingly afraid of silence.) Sticking to the "love" theme (and digging into the Around The Well track list), they also tackled New Order's "Love Vigilantes" during rehearsals.

The New Order:

Around The Well is out via Sub Pop. "Godless" isn't on it, but "Love Vigilantes" is. As is this:

Iron And Wine - "The Trapeze Swinger" (MP3)

You can catch Iron & Wine at ATP.

I was behind him on this taping and it was incredible. I'm glad to see he played something more mellow. I got to meet him after the show on the street and he is awesome. Great stuff.

something MORE MELLOW? Are you kidding me? If he was any more mellow, he'd be running his finger up and down a single string on his guitar while whispering nursery rhymes.
