Beirut - Gulag Orkestar

NEW VINYL LP ON XL RECORDINGS 2008.

The best album to come out of Albuquerque since the Shins decamped for the Pacific Northwest, the debut album by Beirut (aka New Mexico-born 19-year-old singer/songwriter Zach Condon) bears an immediate resemblance both to Denver's DeVotchKa and the current passions of the Athens, GA, crowd formerly associated with the Elephant 6 stable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beirut_%28band%29
