Iron & Wine follow up their 2018 Grammy-nominated full-lengthBeast EpicwithWeed Garden, a collection of material that began about three years ago. The six-song EP features songs that were part of the writing phase forBeast Epic, but went unfinished. They were part of a larger narrative for principal songwriter Sam Beam, who ran out of time to get them where they needed to be for inclusion onBeast Epic.Weed Gardenalso includes the fan favorite Waves of Galveston.

While on tour in the fall of 2017, the final pieces of material took shape and a sense of urgency prevailed in bringing these characters full circle. To resolution. To completion. In January of 2018, Beam and company hunkered down in Chicago at The Loft recording studio to capture these six songs. No more, no less.

Weed Gardenjoins the good company of previous Iron & Wine EPs The Sea & the Rhythm,Woman King,In the Reins and in 2018s attention-span challenged world thats not a bad thing.
