Zach Condon, Oaxaca, Mexico, Beirut, Realpeople - I'm sure you've heard it all before. Check out the new video for "The Concubine" from Realpeople's Holland EP where Zach wanders around Brooklyn while his other half [maybe?] enjoys some desert scenery.

One-time boy wunderkind prodigy Zach Condon of Beirut sure does love sampling the toothpicks of flavors at the International Musical Food Court. This year he's in Mexico.While I wish this brilliantly conceived video by Owen Cook was just a *tidge* more clear in resolution, I dig the way the visuals go along with the sloppiness of the song and the drawings of the band. LOVE the animation of the ...

DOOM!I was in Chicago this weekend for Pitchfork’s annual festival. It was a great time, with a lot more of a local and independent feel than any festival I’ve ever been to before. I showed up a little late on Friday, and only caught Built To Spill’s set. It was the last write the night [...]

Just before leaving NZ I ended up bunking with James and Ami for a bit. Technically I was not in the same bed and I slept in a different room, but I wanted to use the word "bunking" because I think it sounds neat. Hanging out at their place had its benefits, like drinking on their back deck in the sun, but the greatest was exposure to a world of music. The muse living within James extended my m...

Zach Condon headlined the Pavillion Stage here last night, playing for exactly an hour, but leaving those assembled wanting much more. It was like a party atmosphere for those on the green mat, with a continental feeling exuding from those present.

(photo: Myspace)I'm not always sure how to approach discussing the music of Beirut (the band, not the city) because I don't think I have the right knowledge of the musical and cultural inspirations behind it. It's not really ethno-pop, because it doesn't sound like our modern version of pop music, but one would guess that in a previous era, somewhere in this great big world of ours, these son...

Beirut, the pet project of 22 year old Zach Condon, has taken over my life. Again. For the third time. It's got to be the dusty Balkan gypsy horns and the lilting, percussive strumming of the mandolin. It transports me to another age; sometimes it's a sleepy smoky village in the south of France, other times it's a brasserie in Brooklyn. It's transcendence at its least and transformance at it...
