I like Beirut ......
They remind me of old songs (espicially arabic ones; Fayirouz and Om Kolthom, Fareed Al Atrash ; they had such music too + of course French artisits its their origin; but unfortunately i don't know much of the french artists)- But thats not all ; their music really gets me moving around and imagning playing with each instrument they use.
I imagine all the instruments as they tune and ryhme into one piece of a song .
Best songs I have heard to them till now - was nantes (thanks to Mika - whom introduced it on his website and actually got to know them from Mika's blog post ), Postcrads form Italy, My family's role in world revolution and mmm what else, the Bratislava , Gulag orkestar (these are just musical - with no words), I heard most of them on youtube.
Are there any suggestions for this beautifull band ??
