Beirut
This post will be short, but important. The band is named Beirut. It is a 19 year old from New Mexico. His album comes out May 9th, and is entitled Gulag Orkestar. He describes the album as "swaying to the Eastern European beats like a drunken 12-member ensemble that has fallen in love with The Magnetic Fields, Talking Heads and Neutral Milk Hotel." And he is not kidding. And it is the best album I have yet heard this year.

This is probably the best track, but you need to listen to the album to really get its full effect. Jump on the bandwagon before Pitchfork gets their skinny little hipster hands all over this shit

That sounds fucking amazing. Will you be using him on your mix? I'm guessing yes. That puts you in front already. By the way, who's that indie soul electronica guy from Britain that you played for Maria and I?
