For Beirut fans, next week is going to be like [insert preferred holiday of choice] in August. Bandleader Zach Condon has chosen to drop the band's new album, The Rip Tide , on digital outlets next Tuesday. It's coming four weeks ahead of the physical release, which is still due out at the end of August. Consider this a gift from Condon and company, who perhaps want you to be familiar with their new material when they hit the road . Or, more likely, they just want to avoid any album leaks. Yeah, it's probably the latter. [...]

Por Bárbara Pavan Es increíble como Zach Condon , un joven de 25 años, puede lograr las composiciones que exhibe en su proyecto Beirut . Desde el lanzamiento de su primer disco, Gulag Orkestar , en 2006 (cuando Condon , de nombre poco feliz, tenía sólo 19 años), Beirut ha sabido hacer una combinación letal entre world music , gypsy music e indie rock. Claro está que la música balcánica ha sido más que bastardeada en los últimos años, sin embargo, Condon es sutil en sus arreglos. Y en [...]
( email | facebook | twitter ) Artist : Beirut Release : The Rip Tide (LP, August 30, 2011) Notable Tracks : "East Harlem," "Payne's Bay" Recommendation : Dig deep, or pass The Rip Tide is not a follow-up to The Flying Club Cup . It is not bombastic in its baroque. No tears will be shed. It is not an instant classic. It requires effort [...]

One could make a pretty good case for the fact that Beirut are one of the most talented and popular indie bands ever, and deserve their fair share of the credit for helping to popularize indie music to a wider audience over the years. With a solid discography of classic indie albums like The Flying [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
'So, why did you never reply to my text message from new year's?' The cellphone in her hand, she's standing there, speechless. Why now? After all those months? What does he want this time? She met him at work. Before she saw him for the first time at a meeting, she always thought he was [...]
When I first met Kasey, the demos for Beirut 's debut had just started making the rounds. I fell in love with his music the first time I heard those billowy, brass horns and his deep, warm croon. I had just bought a new phone that allowed me to use customized ringtones. I made a short clip from the third verse of "Postcards From Italy" and assigned it to Kasey, so when she would call me that song would play. At the time I hadn't really thought about the significance of the lyrics from the [...]

Allo my friends... you got a second? Good. Can we talk about this new album by Beirut called The Rip Tide ? Good! Oh my... I like Beirut, but like a few of you out there in internetland, they were a band to take in doses, perfect for a mixtape, or a couple songs back to back. Hell, they were perfect for the end of our wedding mixtape. So, word of the new Beirut album floating aboot and "East Harlem" making it's lovely way into our lovely hearts, I took it all with a [...]
Stream the entire new album, The Riptide from the ever-romantic Beirut below:
Mesmerising and genre-defiant band Beirut release a new album through their own label, Pompeii, on August 29th. Ahead of the new release, the band have released free download 'East Harlem', and because we're lovely, we thought we'd share it with you. The orchestral world-folk-pop group have gained a lot of ground internationally, travelling much of the world to play shows since the band's beginnings back in 2006. It's exciting to see a band who could seemingly easily attract the attention of major record labels deciding to stay independent instead - it seems to be a [...]
On first listen, Beirut's third full-length, the first since 20072s The Flying Club Cup , glides by almost too easily. The more time you spend with it, though, the more it becomes clear The Rip Tide 's initial easy familiarity (and subsequent deepening) is a testament to Zach Condon's continued growth as a songwriter. He's able to deliver the calling-card Beirut people want (romantic croon, party-in-the-streets horn swells) while seamlessly mixing in new ingredients that showcase a purer pop feel coupled with a mature sense of restraint, all without sacrificing the "fun." [...]
Beirut 's third LP titled " The Rip Tide " will be released August 30th via Zach Condon's label Pompeii Records. This is decidedly more of a pop record. It's the most accessible, while maintaining that unique Beirut sound. Trumpets, drums, organs- all lending to that Balkan/Jazz/Waltz kind of sound. Tracks like "Santa Fe" have a Sufjan Stevens "All Delighted People" with a little more of that 802s pop synth quality. The first release " East Harlem " has that anthem-feel, with the regal elegance trumpets and beautiful harmonies- it breaks with a round about, "and the sound [...]
Vous allez frissoner aux sons de Beirut . Le titre The Rip Tide est le même que celui de l'album, qui doit officiellement sortir le 30 août prochain... mais qui est déjà dans mon ipod : incohérence. Soyez patient ! Ajoute PQTEM sur facebook : Beirut - The Rip Tide
Here's a new track from the forthcoming Beirut album, The Rip Tide . Sure to make all of the critic's and blogosphere's End of Year lists, along the likes of Bon Iver's self-titled release, the album is already riding strong, with the release of the first single, East Harlem . I happen to like Port of Call , the album closer, which feels like it could easily have been on the band's 2006 Gulag Orkestar release. "Port of Call" by Beirut Download via [...]
O próximo álbum do Beirut , The Rip Tide, terá uma simples capa como se mostra abaixo (a exemplo de Suck It And See do Arctic Monkeys). Mas o mais importante é que o álbum chega para os fãs dia 30 de agosto pelo selo Pompeii Records , o qual Zach Condon é dono. O primeiro single do álbum é East Harlem.

Though the album cover appears to be plain and simple, this stands in stark contrast of everything Beirut is. Filled with lush harmonies, dense instrumentation, and tons of personality, the project is poised to release their latest work, The Rip Tide , on August 30th via Pompeii Records, and I know I don't stand alone when I say that I can't wait. In support of this effort, Beirut will tour the world in what seems to be both a bold and appropriate run that will take Zach Condon and co. to the holiday season. Check out a [...]
