Beirut - The Gulag Orkestar flac album

Gulag Orkestar is the debut album of Beirut. It was recorded in 2005 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is written in the booklet that the front and back photos were found in a library in Leipzig, torn out of a book. The original photographer was unknown to the creators of the album while it was recorded, but has since been discovered to be Sergey Chilikov. The album has received great critical acclaim and was later re-released to include the Lon Gisland EP.

The best album to come out of Albuquerque since the Shins decamped for the Pacific Northwest, the debut album by Beirut (aka New Mexico-born 19-year-old singer/songwriter Zach Condon) bears an immediate resemblance both to Denver's DeVotchKa and the current passions of the Athens, GA, crowd formerly associated with the Elephant 6 stable.

Gulag Orkestar is the debut album of Beirut.

However, Gulag Orkestar does fall flat in a few places. Postcards From Italy doesn’t quite nail the laid-back, lazy feeling it tries to produce, most likely due to Condon’s constant vibrato towards the end of his words. Bratislava takes a familiar march pattern and adds echoing vocals far in the background, but in the end is too repetitive and boring to really feel like it builds from intro to climax. The faults can be easily overlooked due to the rest of the album ranging from Excellent to Outstanding. Those in the market for something entirely different from the norm should pick up Beirut’s debut album. Top Tracks Mount Wroclai (Idle Days) Brandenburg Basically all of them but Postcards From Italy and Bratislava.
