Founder, Zachary Francis Condon, is a very talented man. Started out as a solo thing, Beirut combines the feel of Eastern Europe and Balkan fold with Western pop music which fits in wonderfully with the indie-rock culture. I'm not going to talk about Beirut too much, but I did want to introduce him to whomever is reading this blog. He has two CDs out, Gulag Orkestar and The Flying Club Cup, and a number of EPs. You can greatly hear the French influence on his music, most likely from the fact that he lived in France for a time, which has oddly enough left me liking the accordion.
Listen to him, he's great and the music is like nothing you've heard. The song featured in the video is called "Nantes" from The Flying Club Cup.
Enjoy.
