the flying club cup.

new
Beirut!
The Flying Club Cup is to be released October 9 2007. the string arrangements are composed by none other than
Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett.
this album is French pop with a big sound, instead of the odd gypsy Balkan style, with inspiration coming from a photo Zach found from 1910 of hot air balloons flying close to the Eiffel Tower. it definitely is still very Beirut style, if you know what i mean. it's not a drastic change in the slightest, but so beautiful.
