behind the melodic melancholy treasure that is Beirut is quite a good story. At 16 the lead singer Zach Condon dropped out of school to drink his way around Europe. Upon this travel in Serbia he discovered a Balkan folk style of music that now is his life. Condons smooth voice and song arrangement is a true testimony to music itself and the folk side of it. The romance and capturing nature of the songs amidst the folk jamming and chilling culture is well represented in this live and pretty cool video version of 'Nantes'. N-JOY these tracks in a chilled relaxed state.peace.
BONUS-
Yes it is another remix of La Roux (la-roo)......"this time baby" it is from Nacey and is a chilled serene tribute to her lovely voice.
p.s. tommorrow ill have an album review of our good friends Simian Mobile Disco
