Calexico and Iron & Wine will reunite for the new collaborative album Years to Burn, which will be released June 14th. The full-length effort comes 14 years after the stalwart indie folk-rock acts teamed up to release the 2005 Ep In the Reins.
The warm voice of singer-songwriter Sam Beam (who performs as Iron & Wine) guides the album’s lead track “Father Mountain,” which features an airy acoustic progression and uplifting harmonies from Calexico’s Joey Burns.

Oh, and Joey Burns gets a shave. "Para" precedes the Sept. 11 release of "Algiers," the dusty-rock band's debut for Anti- and their first full-length in four years.
