BEIRUT

Posted by Lalo - May 21st, 2008


so Beirut is this band that plays weird folkloreish music with nice beats and weird instruments, a friend introduced me to them and now i cant stop listening to their music, at the start i was like meh they're not that great, then the melodies and the combinations of the intruments started to get stucked in my mind, they make me feel a bit relaxed/happy and inspired. here are some songs of them that i like:

Nantes, i specially like the chorus:

.

In the mausoleum, this ones a bit creepier, i LOVE the violin here, makes it epic :3

.
/* */
My Family's Role in the World Revolution, i LOVE this tune, i hum it all the time:

.
/* */
Postcards from Italy, i love the beat and the trumpet solo (lol):

.

those were just a few of my top favourite ones. they're amazingly weird and good <3

Wow these guys are pretty rad! I think I might go check out some more of their stuff!

Yeah apparently he's a musical prodigy but like his life is sorta fucker up right now.

this is teh suck

awwwww why do you always lowar my selfesteem :C

I thought you just rearranged the letters in the word "TRIBUTE," but then I realized there was only one T.

I can't believe I used to like Beirut. But i noticed that not only do all songs sound the same, but there's a strange lack of creativity going into the song. The songs are always in 3/4, in a waltz type feel. He can't sing either, so he hides that by throwing heavy vibrato over everything. To each his own, I guess. At least you're not listening to absolute shit.

As much as I don't like Beirut, I do love the song Mount Wroclai, haha.

well all the songs use the same intruments and belong to the same genre, whenever i listen to a new song of them im aware it will sound a bit like the others i have heard, that doesnt mean its not creative >:C you're right about condon not being a good singer, i didnt like his voice at first but i got used to it, its nice :3

Elephant Gun is the song i want to hear while I'm dying.

Or atleast have it played live in a burial ceremony.

Srsly.

yea definitely, it has alot of mixed feelings :)

nice

Agree with Tim, Elephant Gun is fantastic, that's when they became a favourite band of mine.

They are actually pretty good nice find
