Next January, indie-folk mavens Iron & Wine will issue their fourth LP Kiss Each Other Clean through Warner Bros. in the U.S. and 4AD internationally. On November 26 (Black Friday), Sam Beam will also release a new three-track single, exclusively available at independent record shops. The single includes Kiss Each Other Clean‘s epic album opener “Walking Far From Home,” and bonus tracks “Summer in Savannah,” and “Biting Your Tail.” Formats include a 12-inch vinyl and CD. The digital release date is November 30.
