Free Videos From Beirut



I love Beirut. They're by far the best thing i've discovered this year in music. Zach Condon lives in a different world that most. A world where music isn't made to be bought or sold but to bring out all of the emotion that living life can bring. His woozy Balkan-Gypsy music is more suited for the faded romance of a victrola player rather than a CD or MP3 player.

He and his band have a new record out now called The Flying Club Cup. They made a video for each song that you can watch for free on their website flyingclubcup.com. Filmed in Brooklyn just a few months ago, the videos capture a glimpse of Beirut's special free flowing form.
