This band was my very first band blog entry in a Top 50 ever. You can read that entry here, all the way back in 2009. Hard to believe it's been six years of this. Beirut is Zach Condon from Santa Fe, New Mexico. He tends to produce South American inspired, experimental rock. This new album of his ventures into some Grizzly Bear/Magnetic Fields territory and a gradual inclination towards a more pop sound, or at least listenable, compared to some of the older stuff. Regardless of how you characterize this music, it's wonderful and this new album does not have a bad song on it. The title track is one of my favorite songs of the year.
