Trapped in Beirut

I've been listening to Beirut just about every day for the past month.  I went through a bout of listening to The Rip Tide on repeat this summer, drifted away for a bit, and then picked them back up when I finally updated my music library (all thanks to Erica!) and completed my collection of all three albums and a couple EPs.  Beirut is truly a fantastic band--I might even venture to say one of my all-time top favs.  Only time will tell.

Have a listen to a few my favorites!  They're coming to Cincinnati and Lexington in the next couple weeks, so if you're nearby, you should check them out!

"Nantes" from The Flying Club Cup


"Scenic World" from Lon Gisland EP


"Elephant Gun" from Lon Gisland EP

"Postcards from Italy" from Gulag Orkestar

"Santa Fe" from The Rip Tide

Beirut's "The Rip Tide" Online!

Streaming here.
The album is phenomenal.  Just do it.
NPR First Listen is best.
