Album Review: Beirut ‘The Rip Tide’

July 4, 2011 by Lachy 2 Comments

So I’m just going to say it: this is Beirut’s best album. From start to finish, ‘The Rip Tide’ is a sublime listening experience. At only just over half an hour long you may think that this record might feel lacking in substance, but quite the opposite is true: there is just so much packed into these 33 minutes. There is not a single second wasted, and instead of a lack of substance we have an abundance of fantastic tracks, any one of which could easily be a single. This is beautiful music, and more importantly it has Zach Condon’s personal watermark all over it. This album could come from no-one else.

I guess I spoke too soon when I said yesterday that the studio version of Beirut’s new single, ‘East Harlem’, would be available early next week, because the track has already surfaced.
