Having released the internationally celebrated 'Gulag Orkestar' as recently as May 2006, Beirut has been under the public gaze for little more than a year, but is already back with new album 'The Flying Club Cup', released 8th October 2007 by 4AD - win albums!
Within that short time since releasing Gulag Orkestar, the band has travelled as far afield as Russia, Poland and Turkey as well as performing throughout North America and Western Europe - not to mention giving rise to a tsunami of interviews, photoshoots and features. And although it's been a year in which associations with Lebanon's capital city turned, yet again, from romantic to tragic, it's also been one in which where a great fervour could somehow develop around an album conceived and constructed in a teenager's New Mexico bedroom.
Now, six months of recording has led to The Flying Club Cup. Inspired by an obscure photo from 1910 depicting hot air balloons taking flight mere steps away from the Eiffel Tower - an image that Zach kept pasted to the wall throughout the sessions - The Flying Club Cup is a homage to France's culture, fashion, history and music. In fact, each song is intended to evoke a different French city.
