Beirut

Add Date: February 10

Artist: Beirut

Album: March of the Zapotec [EP]/ (Realpeople- Holland EP)

Label: Pompeii/ Ba Da Bing

Genre: Rock, Fancy-Rock

Comments: This is a double-disked EP that basically consists of half Mexican-style marches with lots of sweet trumpets and half blippy bedroom electonica to keep you amused until a real follow-up to The Flying Club Cup comes out next year. The whole thing is a little bit confusing as the "Holland" (electronic) bit is credited to one of Zach Condon's pseudonyms-- Realpeople, and while interesting, I think I'll go ahead and admit that I like the more Beirut-y first-half much better.


Since we have a burned copy on the shelf, here is a picture of the cover art (just for the record).
