It doesn't take a lot to confuse me, and its happening right now. Laying, looking, waiting... Why am I here and how? Pull me from the ground. Pull me up and throw me down. Or just leave me, to stare at the sky. The ground it wets my back, the sun it burns my eyes. And I watch the trees, they dance in the wind, it chills my bod... MORE

Just hearing Beirut playing their music tops all other concerts. Even though this show was breathtaking, the perfomance was drastically different from their show in October 2007. At first i didn't really notice, i was too happy to be there. But the energy had changed, it felt like there was too much space on stage, and they weren't all playing as one. The passion was altered, lessened, maybe from touring, maybe from their rising fame. Things change, not always for the... MORE

Zach Condon has ended his short break from Beirut and has announced a double EP and the formation of a new record label. The first EP is titled March of the Zapotec, aptly named since Condon "recorded in Mexico with the help of Oaxacan march masters The Jimenez Band." The Zapotec is an indigenous civilization [...]

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 found a kindred spirit today. And it's not often you find one of those. Especially one whose music tastes are just as odd and strange as yours. It's great to finally meet someone whose values and attitudes on life and iTunes library are almost identical to your own. It helps that we're at such similar places at our lives at the moment, and it's nice to finally air out some strange and weird and slightly embarrassing thoughts that have been rolling around in my head for y...

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.

The mellow and worldly sounds of Beirut is heading around the world. The Zach Condon-heade ensemble kicks things off next month in Sydney, Australia. Come May Condon and Co. will play a few west coast US dates around their slot at Sasquatch! After that the band will do as most bands do in the summer and head to Europe.

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.
