Beirut's music always makes me miss a lover I know I've never had. Their music is multidimensional romance themed with a balkan zest. When ever I push play, I'm thrust against the glass of another world, cheek to c...

I'm not sure what more to say in this review besides that I expected Beirut to have a more commercial sound. Like, the guy has almost as many streams on Spotify as China has citizens, or Freddy Mercury has octaves, or the opposite of how many metapho...

How about another throwback? Sure, why not!
"Postcards from Italy" is basically a classic at this point -- believe it or not, more than 10 years have passed since its release. I actually remember the first time I heard this song while at University;...

Beirut harken back to my early days of music discovery. I believe I was a sophomore at University when I stumbled upon their debut release (via NPR), and they've remained one of my favorite folk acts since.
In light of that, you can imagine I get qu...

Turns out Beirut has a new album in the works, due for release on September 11th via 4AD. It'll be titled No No No (the same as this song), marking their fourth full-length...

Sometimes the best songs are flashbacks. And in this case, Beirut's "Guaymas Sonora" is hitting the spot.The track was originally released on the band's sophomore album The Flying Club Cup way back in 2007. If you're like me, you'd already been quite...
