About Beirut
The EPs and the albums by Beirut are largely the work of Zach Condon, a young Santa Fe, New Mexico native. Condon has recorded before: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields. Condon was a straight-A student until he dropped out at the age of 17 to travel Europe with his cousin in a drunken haze, cavorting and partying with the locals wherever he ended up.
LMFM Says:
A beautiful fusion of Eastern European and Balkan Folk with a Western a sentiment. The band draws much from the contribution by members of A Hawk and A Hacksaw and Neutral Milk Hotel. For foppish sentimentalists with leaning towards beauty.
