Oscar inspired me to share this with you all today, with his well-chosen post of the video to Beirut's "Elephant Gun," which you can check out at gerdner.net.
Beirut's album, "The Flying Club Cup," was released in October 2007, and a very cool website was dedicated to the videos that accompany each song on the album. Parisian indie-filmmaker Vincent Moon, in association with his website, La Blogotheque, filmed all of the videos in Brooklyn, NY. The videos are simple and charming, and emphasize the raw, orchestral, organic sound that makes Beirut one of my desert island top 5 favorite bands. Here is the video for the first track of the album. The song is called "Nantes."
Also, please listen to the song "Scenic World," off of their "Lon Gisland" EP. It's amazing.
