Beirut, The Flying Club Cup

Filed Under Album Picks 

In the past couple of years I have listened to countless bands but no other band touches me deep in my soul quite like Beirut. Maybe it is because of their distinct sound or Condon’s one of kind vocals, or even the sure love for music that speaks volumes in every one of their composed tracks. Most likely it is a combination of it all and I can’t get enough. Beirut’s second full length album, The Flying Club Cup is a progression of sound, a delightful dance of French chanson and one of my favorite albums of the year. I see them live this Thursday, October 11th at the Avalon Hollywood.

    You are quite welcome. Have you heard their debut album the “Gulag Orkestar”?

    The Flying Club Cup is truly glorious, maybe even better then Beirut’s debut album. It is so luxurious and elegant. So rich and warm. I wasn’t sure if Zach could do it again, but he has esily.

    Don’t you just love it? I love that “Nantes” track, one of my favs from the album, but there are many. Glad you like it!

    Oh! Thank you! I absolutely love Beirut, and I didn’t know they had a new record out.
    Unfortunately, none of my friends like Beirut. I can’t figure out why, they’re lovely.

    I have Gulag Orkestar…it’s great. The variety of songs is refreshing…I’ll have to check the new one out – I’ll pick it up on Tuesday when I go to buy the new Delta Spirit:)
