Beirut - The Flying Club Cup



I love this album. I love this band. I want to see them live. If you proceed over to http://www.archive.org/ one can download a concert, it's great! I don't know where to begin. This album has been out for awhile, I've even had it for awhile. Matt sent it to me via snail mail. It reminds me of a Balkan sounding Bobby Darin. A crooner if you will. But there's lots of French spoken; so not so much Balkan. The video to "Elephant Gun" is classic but I prefer the live video on YouTube of "Nantes." It's simple and effective. How grand would it be to be sitting at a cafe and have a man and an accordion start performing next to you? Love it. Makes me want to shave my beard except for a mustache and wear tweed. Say words like "grand" and "dandy" and extol the virtues of P.G. Wodehouse.


All the cuts on this album are fantastic (no "Elephant Gun"). I prefer the track "Cliquot." The build is wonderful.
