lately i have been absolutely enamored with Beirut. they just make you feel like dancing...or learning to play a new instrument. either way, zach condon's voice never ceases to blow me away. instead of trying to come up with deeply profound lyrics, he uses his voice as just another instrument for making beautiful sounds. reminiscent of sigur ros perhaps. you can't help feeling immense joy after listening to it.
i think i may be in love.

I am just loving Beirut right now, absolutely blown away. Its the same feeling of beauty, chances and possibilities in music that I felt when I first heard other artists that inspire me such as Sufjan Stevens and Jackson Jackson. Its so refreshing to hear something that wakes you up from the insipid and cliched the way that this did.

I have been blown away by this hauntingly beautiful disc. I'd rather not try to explain how amazing this album is. I figure the music speaks better for itself

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 its best. I wake up in the morning and I'm humming "Postcards From Italy". ... MORE

I've been MIA for some time now due to the vile fall illness that strikes my family each year. I'll spare you all the gory details except that anytime I get a cold I lose my voice and sound like Brenda Vacarro for a week or two. Lovely. And, Dale, if you're reading this; your CD and baked goods will arrive soon! Any way, on to music... Every once in a while I find an album that just feels right and I love it. The Flying Club Cub by Beirut on the whole sounds like somethi... MORE

The carnival imagery is too easy, the calliope-colored nostalgia too obvious. Nonetheless: there’s a fairground, a Ferris wheel in the underwater accordion-oom-pah, and there are eager fingers, interlacing for the first time. God, the first time. The nerve it takes to take a hand. From here there will be things to build and to burn, to write down and to write off; you will one day not forgive me. I may, one day, no longer try. The joy of this song is in its straddle over... MORE

I don't know how those blokes of La Blogothèque do it. It's always an amazement to see renowned artists "busking" in the streets of Paris.

Mogstars: 9 out of 10 Beirut’s second full-length album sees Zach Condon heading from the Balkan countryside that _Gulag Orkestar_ paid homage to into the carefree café culture of France. Harking back to the exuberant start of the twentieth century, Condon latches on to the optimism of bonneted beaus and fearless flyers of yesteryear, whilst consistently emulating the France that the impressionists tried to mirror. The Francophile elements are clear from the beginning ... MORE

The new Beirut album comes out Oct. 9th, and if it's anywhere as good as the Lon Gisland EP, then it'll be fantastic!
I'm really excited for all the new French influences, though. Take a listen...
