## Description

Only 19 and already a (blog) superstar, Zach Condon, a.k.a. Beirut, is one Web phenom worth the praise. His debut album, Gulag Orkester, is a mix of Eastern European whimsy and old-fashioned indie-rock wailing. This Internet exclusive predates the material on that album, and it's production is a bit 'home demo,' but the chintzy drum-machine beat, yodel-y background vocals, and muted trumpet are charming all the same. Condon sounds well beyond his teens, as his Rufus Wainwright-type croon hints at many a bewildered hangover. Download the track for free courtesy of Beirut's site.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Justification for hipster insistence on vinyl
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2018*

Amazing album;  perfectly suited for fresh coffee, lazy Sundays, and daydreams about the study abroad you took - or should’ve taken - to Central Europe

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good mellow album
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2013*

A couple songs pop out, they are influenced by neutral milk and it shows, but in a good way. Overall I've caught myself playing it on repeat, in the background.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
