Song(s) of the Day # 4,066 Beirut

 


Easter Saturday and I'm sitting in the living room at my sister's in Becenham. A cup of tea in front of me. Headphones on. I'm going into London in a couple of hours to meet a very special person from my past. Meet her daughter or the first time and go and eat tea and cake wuth them. Life is a celebration and demands to be feasted upon.

I'm listening to Beirut's new record, A Study Of Losses. It sounds like other Beirut records but you wouldn't really want it otherwise. Zach Condon, the driving motor at the engine room of thus band has a special understanding of poignancy and gentility. A feeling for Folk Traditionals. Eternal emotions and rituals.. Fragility, Poignance, Culture. It's another beautuful record. Adhere to your values.
