What I want to do with this blog is make short and solid reviews for this year's music releases. At the end of each month I will pick my favorite songs and compile a playlist. This blog is dedicated both to casual listeners who don't want to listen to a month's worth of albums and to veterans who want to compare top picks.

Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean
Kiss Each Other Clean was a nice surprise. Iron & Wine has always had really good instrumental and vocal mixes but Kiss Each Other Clean really raises the bar. Songs on this album sound more upbeat and soulful than previous works. Combined as an album they paint an even bigger picture. Each song enticed me to keep listening, to be excited about what is to come. Kiss Each Other Clean is well produced, getting its hooks in with poppy vocals and beats. Even if you have never been a fan of Iron & Wine, Kiss Each Other Clean has a decent chance of winning you over. Fans might be skeptical because of the drastic new sound, but fearing change is no reason to ignore the talent and brilliance that Iron & Wine employed in making this, their fourth album.
