It accompanies a film of the same name

Iron & Wine has announced Who Can See Forever, a new live record that accompanies a documentary concert film of the same name, set to arrive November 17 on Sub Pop.

Captured by director Josh Sliffe at Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, NC, the soundtrack features 19 songs from Sam Beam's 20-plus-year career. Who Can See Forever includes reimagined versions of Iron & Wine songs, including "The Trapeze Swinger," "Boy with a Coin" and "Naked as We Came." Initially intended as a live concert film, the film "evolved into a visual portrait capturing Beam during a creative outburst," one that lasted four years and resulted in multiple Grammy nominations. 

Who Can See Forever is produced by Sam Beam and was recorded by his longtime live sound engineer Jelle Kuiper, mixed by Matt Ross-Spang at Southern Grooves in Memphis, TN, and mastered by Richard Dodd in Nashville, TN.

Today, you can watch a video featuring the live version of "Thomas County Law." See that, plus the Who Can See Forever tracklist, below.
