Beirut - The Flying Club Cup

Zach Condon is the main face behind the band Beirut. His music sounds like an entire orchestra playing wonderfully beautiful songs. Ukuleles, horns, accordions, glockenspiels, drums, violins, cellos and more all fill Beirut's music with a fully layered feel that everyone can appreciate. The sound can be described as folky, a sort of more orchestrated Bob Dylan - it reminds me of gypsies. He can be compared to artists like Grizzly Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective, and Andrew Bird. The Flying Club Cup features and entire album that has no guitars, but it still has just as much emotion and power as any more rock based song has. Beirut is defiantly not very mainstream and it is different than a lot of music out there but it is full of emotion and feeling and is overall simply beautiful.
