Beirut / The Flying Clup Cup
Posted: August 27, 2007

I just “found” the new Beirut album, The Flying Club Cup, and I’m utterly speechless and extraordinarily excited all at once!
It’s amazing so far… absoultely amazing. It sounds so much like Lon Gisland, and a lot less like Gulag Orkestar, which I think is an improvement. It’s much more French, and less Gypsy/Balkan.
I’m also really excited that he worked with Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy on this one. Mr. Pallett’s string arrangements are known by a lot of people, because he also arranges the strings of a little Canadian band called Arcade Fire.
As soon as I get a better listen to the album I’ll post a track for everyone to hear, just to get an idea of how SPECTACULAR this sounds. Until then, dream of October 9th, the day the album is released.
