Beirut - The Rip Tide

Zach Condon's third outing under the Beirut moniker shakes the compass and tosses it into the dirt, kicking up a typically eclectic cloud of orchestral indie pop that allows all of his influences (Balkan, French chanson, alternative rock, and European and Mexican folk) a chance to throw down. The Rip Tide, like the band’s previous two releases, feels like a postcard from another era, only this time around, it’s signed and dated.
