Grade: B
Iron and Wine’s “Kiss Each Other Clean” is more than an album. It is an experience in which listeners can join frontman Sam Beam on his melodic journey through a spectrum of sounds as he experiments with melding multiple genres to create tunes reminiscent of golden oldies like Bob Dylan and Elton John. Beam also incorporates a Yeasayer-esque power and sleepiness that adds a perfect punch to the album that’ll either push listeners over the edge of confusion or suck them into the trippy world he creates with sound.
