Review

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e softens the three horns on this EP not just with idiomatic accordion but with ukulele and glockenspiel."
CMJ (p.43) - "Fanatics will likely devour LON GISLAND's five songs....Strong enough to keep Beirut's orkestar rising."

Title Note

Beirut: Zach Condon (vocals, ukulele, trumpet, piano); Jason Peranski (mandolin, ukulele); Jon Natchez (ukulele, clarinet, baritone saxophone, glockenspiel); Paul Collins (ukulele, organ, percussion); Kristin Ferebee (violin); Perrin Cloutier (cello, accordion); Kelly Pratt (trumpet, flugelhorn, euphonium); Nick Petree (percussion).

Beirut's five-song EP LON GISLAND works as a nice stop-gap for those anxious for the next full-length from wunderkind songwriter Zach Condon. Condon's penchant for unique instrumentation and world-music accents (particularly klezmer and Balkan brass) is in full flourish on this brief 2007 release, as best revealed on the rousing instrumental "My Family's Role in the World Revolution" and the gorgeous reworking of GULAG ORKESTAR's "Scenic World"--which gets fleshed out with the requisite accordions, ukuleles, and mournful brass, recasting the song as a bittersweet death march. Condon, indisputably, has talent and vision; that he can pack as much of it into five songs as he does here is staggering.
