Longtime friends Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses and Iron & Wine's Sam Beam take great pride in announcing the completion of their first ever collaborative album, Sing Into My Mouth.

Sing Into My Mouth is a loving homage to 12 songs that have had indelible influence on both of its creators. Classics interpreted on Sing Into My Mouth range from the familiar-Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)," Sade's "Bulletproof Soul" and El Perro del Mar's "God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get)" (the original having recently been featured on HBO's GIRLS)-to deep cuts such as Them Two's "Am I a Good Man?" (a frequent feature of Band of Horses' live set) and "There's No Way Out of Here" originally recorded by '70s UK act Unicorn but better known as the lead single from David Gilmour of Pink Floyd's 1978 solo debut.

"As excited as I was at the prospect of finally working together, I was unsure of the possibility of us both finding the time," says Bridwell. "Luckily for me, Sam was persistent with the idea of recording some of our favorite tunes that we'd always wanted to cover. This is truly a 'full circle' moment for me… I've always wanted us to sing together and finally I have that dream realized. I couldn't be more excited to continue this project at the upcoming shows to take it even further while playing some of our original songs together."

"Ben and I started our careers together and had been threatening to work with one another for years," Beam adds. "When we finally conceived of the covers project and carved out some time, it was nostalgic and fun from top to bottom--the process of picking the songs to cover was really reminiscent of more than 15 years ago when we used to mail each other cassettes and CDs of music we were into--and the end of every recording day found us cutting up with friends the way we used to when we'd cross paths in South Carolina. He's always been one of the funniest people I know."
