Having debuted ‘East Harlem‘ on the live circuit Beirut finally gives the track an official outing. Released on Zack Condon‘s very own Pompeii Records, the single is out officially digitally and on vinyl this week.
Exciting news as this represents the first new songs we hear since 2009’s ‘March of the Zapotec EP‘. That rare Beirut mystique is still present in the bucketloads but this track is unmistakably upbeat and, dare I say, poppy.
Inevitably this has wet my appetite for more which is good news because new album ‘The Rip Tide’ is expected this August.
Eyes peeled for a bunch of east coast dates followed by a full European tour this summer.
