USA, 2007, indie folk / contemporary folk
Beirut – The Flying Club Cup: The slow waltz of a lazy brass parade, very similar to their debut, but this time ostensibly through France. Lovely string arrangements by Owen Pallett in this unexpected meeting ground of the influences of chanson and Balkan folk, with all Condon’s new, “exotic” instruments inviting you to take a charming tour with him, a trip down a lane of which you have no memory.
