![Beirut – The Rip Tide [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3634434_lg.jpg)
Although grabbing this album was probably the first time I've made an active effort to listen to Beirut in about three years—I'm just not as folksy as I used to be—I'm not one to deny the truth, and the truth is that I still sometimes hear various parts of The Gulag Orkestar in my head as I fall asleep. It's one of those albums that I listened to over and over and over again, an album that, for me, was perfect. It was right for me at that moment in my life, and that resonance earned it a permanent [...]

Tweet SGTMT fell in love with Beirut after seeing their live show and have been growing fonder of them ever since. Their soon-released The Rip Tide LP has come just at the right time, since this writer's London seems to be coming apart at the seams thanks to a feral minority. It's beautiful. The perfect antidote to the madness outside the window. We'd already heard East Harlem (above) and Goshen [...]
Zach Condon wasn't joking when he spoke about The Rip Tide before the album was even announced: "I write sad songs when it’s nice outside. I write warm and happy songs when I’m up to my neck in snow for three months." And so, The Rip Tide , which was recorded in upstate New York during the harsh winter, is as "sunny" as Condon imagined, showing an artist particularly in-tune with his end product, though the warmth is somewhat subtle in its manifestation. But, how often is a writer or musician's perception of their creation far [...]
Beirut 's long-awaited third full length is finally here, and it is really good. Beirut, led by a pretty chill bro/prodigy named Zach Condon, have been making their mark on the indie world for a few years now by incorporating baroque, Eastern European influences into somewhat modern song formats. The results are always interesting, at the very least, and at their best they're just gorgeous . Beirut's previous albums have all been described with big terms like "grandiose" and "soaring." I think where The Rip Tide differs, is that it works as a cohesive unit, [...]
Nothing says summer more than a light, airy Beirut album pressing its lips on your ear. You can always rely on them to be delicately romantic and dancily instrumental. The sweet crooning of Zach Condon, the only good thing New Mexico ever gave us, matched with Balkan folk horns makes me want to put on a long, billowy skirt and kick off my shoes. Apparently tinkering with fewer instruments this time around, Condon decided to stick with trumpet, ukulele, and piano on this album - instead of picking up a new instrument at every [...]
Beirut is also set to embark on its first international tour in over four years in support of 'The Rip Tide' and will play a series of UK shows
The Rip Tide is Beirut's third album and while each is different they all bear a vintage patina... all mixed up in a territory between new songs by an old soul and old songs by a new soul. Bandleader Zach Condon croons in a high murky vibrato, a voice that would sound highly misplaced singing anything but music with significant ties to the past such as that of Beirut. Listen to The Rip Tide (
Beirut's new album The Rip Tide is available for streaming at NPR . To be honest, I'm not the biggest Beirut fan. When people label Fleet Foxes as boring music, I'm always confused and think they're listening to Beirut. Yet, my notions concerning Beirut come from the older material and to my reactions to that material awhile ago. The new tracks that I've heard from Zachary Condon and company seem to recalibrate my views on the Santa Fe band. Or maybe my musical preferences are changing. East Harlem , Santa Fe , [...]

[New Album] Beirut - The Riptide During Northside Festival I had the chance to see Beirut perform live at McCarren Park. It was a beautiful show which made the anticipation for their new album even greater. Although I liked their last albums, I have to say that I like the direction they’ve taken with The Riptide a bit more. It still has Beirut written all over it, but I feel that they’ve upped their game especially in the songwriting department.This album could really be what breaks them to a more mainstream audience. The [...]

. However, if you want to give the album a spin before handing over your ...
Beirut , is poised to release their 3rd LP " The Rip Tide " and today you can stream the album in full prior to release via NPR's First Listen . Definitely a great album with some of their best songwriting to date
For me, Beirut's new album is a small step back from the Flying Club Cup and the March of the Zapotec EP that preceded it. I was sure all this waiting would result in something bigger and better, but the ambition needed for that doesn't surface on the Rip Tide. It just seems like business as usual. Maybe this would have been acceptable as a release between Gulag and Flying , but the arrangements and foreign flavors of Beirut have held much more water on previous releases, and enhanced the Beirut experience. [...]
