Surprised these guys haven't had more of a mention on the forum.
Two good albums so far and their new one "The Rip Tide" is out on Monday.
It's being streamed on the following website

| I love Postcards From Italy which Guy's played on Finest Hour a few times, keep meaning to check them out.  Will have a listen to the new one, thanks sparky! |

| Why in the world has there not been a Beirut thread until now!? No, but seriously. Zach Condon is a genius. I haven't really listened to the new album yet (physical release today!  ), but if it sounds anything like "Goshen," I'll be a very happy camper. |
