Iron & Wine's Sam Beam decided to change things up a bit for his fourth proper studio album, Kiss Each Other Clean, jumping onto a major label and drawing on a sunnier sound and slicker production. The day before his Radio City Music Hall gig, Beam and some of his bandmates dropped by Studio A to discuss the album's genesis with WFUV's Rita Houston and they played a mini-set of songs, including "Me and Lazarus" and "Tree By The River."  Video after the jump.

Before last weekend's concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, Iron & Wine visited The Alternate Side's sister station WFUV for a session in Studio A. The new album, Kiss Each Other Clean, is a bit of a departure for Sam Beam and his compadres, but an exciting turn for the bearded troubadour. You can hear the entire session tonight, February 4, on The Whole Wide World with Rita Houston on 90.7 WFUV and check out an exclusive video performance of “Tree by the River” after the jump
