Indie rock touchstones Iron & Wine and Calexico have teamed for a seven-song EP, “In the Reins,” which will be released Sept. 20 via Overcoat Recordings. The two acts are also planning a collaborative tour, which will hit the West Coast in October and visit the East Coast in December.
“We’ve actually been trying to do this project for a couple of years,” Iron & Wine principal Sam Beam tells Billboard.com. “Calexico’s tour schedule is pretty intense, but we finally did it. We ended up using some of my old songs that either didn’t make it on my first two records or were out and about on the Internet. We tried to reinterpret them in new ways for people that may have heard them already.”
