Light Verse is the eighth studio album by Iron and Wine, released on April 26, 2024. It is the first album under the project in six years, following 2017's Beast Epic.
The album was self-produced by Sam Beam and recorded in various studios across the United States. It features collaborations with musicians such as Fiona Apple and the Magik*Magik Orchestra string section.
The lyrics explore themes of aging, fatherhood, and the search for lightness in difficult times. Critics noted its more orchestral and optimistic sound compared to previous works.
