Disc review:
 Well, I discovered this band clicking videos randomly, and I had a very good first impression. The first song I heard was "Santa Fe" and five minutes after I was downloading the album. 

 The music it's kind of performed bv a sort orchesta, a combination of diferent sounds, from polkas, to mexican trumpeth bands, and the choruses are very good maintained by it's vocalist, Zach Condom. 

 The lyrics are very poetic, making a nice combination with the particular way to sing of Condom. Although the first songs are more pop styled (using an electronic keyboard), the next ones, and the older albums' ones, are performed by a big variation of instruments, including violins, guitars, accordions and different percussions. 

 In resume, I find Beirut, as a perfect band for a relaxation day, a quiet moment, or as a background music for a quiet activity.
