Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Love Letter for Fire' was released in January 2016, Iron & Wine, the stage name of Sam Beam, was already an established figure in the indie folk scene. This album marked a collaboration with fellow artist Jesca Hoop, following Beam's exploration of more expansive soundscapes in his previous works like 'Ghost on Ghost' (2013). It represented a return to more stripped-down, conversational songwriting alongside a fresh artistic partnership.
