Originally released in 2011, Kiss Each Other Clean is Iron & Wine’s fourth album and a vibrant departure from Sam Beam’s earlier stripped-down sound. Building on the layered, rhythmic style of The Shepherd’s Dog, it blends jazz, blues, African influences, and classic AOR. Recorded in Chicago and Austin with producer Brian Deck, the album features rich instrumentation—including clarinet and sax from Stuart Bogie—and evokes the nostalgic feel of music heard in a parent’s car growing up.
