He worked as a film professor in Miami while recording his early bedroom material that became The Creek Drank the Cradle (2002) on Sub Pop Records. His subsequent catalog has progressively moved from quiet bedroom folk toward more elaborate arrangement and broader sonic palettes, particularly across The Shepherd's Dog (2007) and Kiss Each Other Clean (2011). His cover of Such Great Heights (originally by The Postal Service) was featured in the 2004 film Garden State and became a cultural touchstone. He has also released extensive collaborative work with Calexico (the In the Reins EP, 2005, and Years to Burn, 2019) and Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses (Sing into My Mouth, 2015).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIron \u0026amp; Wine's sound combines indie folk, folk rock, alternative country, Americana, and chamber folk with Beam's distinctive intimate vocal delivery, fingerpicked acoustic guitar work, and lyrical content addressing nature, religion, family, and personal experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Creek Drank the Cradle (2002, Sub Pop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Endless Numbered Days (2004, Sub Pop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shepherd's Dog (2007, Sub Pop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKiss Each Other Clean (2011, Warner Bros.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost on Ghost (2013, Nonesuch\/4AD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeast Epic (2017, Sub Pop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Verse (2024, Sub Pop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYears to Burn (2019, Sub Pop) - with Calexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSub Pop pressings of the Iron \u0026amp; Wine catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.
