This collaboration between Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam (of Iron & Wine) and singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop conjures a heritage country triumph. Seductive chemistry abounds on the immersive historic ballad "The Lamb", and the romance continues on the acoustic blues of "One Way to Pray", and whirling love story of "Kiss Me Quick". Interest piques when they head off-piste: "We Two are the Moon" has quirky French New Wave delivery, while "Chalk it up to Chi's" staccato, jazz rock pointedness, and "Midas Tongue" explosive breathy chemistry feel like lost Fleetwood Mac classics.
