You guys, I very enthusiastically recommend that you check out the NPR first listen of Beirut's new album, The Rip Tide. It is exceptionally amazing! This has been one of my favorite bands since early college, and the music of Zach and company has been there with me through some of the best times of my life, as well as some of the more painful ones (which is sort of what amazing music is all about, no?). This album is a stunner, of course, with "Goshen" as the stand-out track amid the many musical gems on this album. Enjoy!
