I can't stop listening to Beirut.

Their new album is AMAZING!! It makes me miss Oaxaca soooo much. I even miss the terribly off key, sour note oom pa pa band that practiced EVERY DAY in our village and surprisingly never got better.

***from their website:
Entitled March of the Zapotec, the first EP consists of songs written by Beirut and recorded in Mexico with the help of Oaxacan march masters The Jimenez Band. The second EP, Holland, showcases Zach's latest bedroom-style recordings under his former moniker Realpeople, including the previously released "Venice" (in the 2007 Believer music issue), and "My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille" (on the Natalie Portman curated Big Change charity album). Taken together, the two EPs proudly display the scope of Beirut's work over the last year.
