Yes, let's hope he uses some good ol' psychadelia with orchestrated strings or piano ballads. =D

It's cool. Just a continuation of Gulag, really.

I'm just getting into him now. I really can't believe he's so young. He sounds like he's got a million years of experience in his music.

Elephant Gun is the song I'm digging at the moment. I think it's pretty uplifting (and not what I'd usually look for when I'm feeling great... I tend to go for Girls Aloud and the like when I need something that fits).

This is strictly an assumption based from the songs on his myspace, but... holy **** this guy is remarkable.

Beirut is amazing. I had The Flying Club Cup on constant play when I first got it. And the videos for each of the album's songs (on his website) are really great. My favourite song would have to be his cover of Le Moribond though, off the Elephant Gun EP. Zach Condon speaking in French...
