Way back in the mid-aughts, a goddamn lifetime ago, i was really taken with the horn-infused indie folk rock of New Mexico artist Zach Condon and his project Beirut. Those early records had an Eastern European beer hall vibe that just worked for me, a sound both melancholy and celebrative, and wholly endearing. A decade plus and a few releases later, i kind of moved on to different sounds and niches, but the band's latest, "Gallipoli," brings back those horns, and i am here for it all day long. Listen below, and get the album of the same name here from 4AD.
