About This Track

Zach Condon, the man who is Beirut, is so absurdly talented and steeped in obscure European folk for a 21-year-old that it’s not surprising certain other musicians want to punch him. ‘Elephant Gun’ is yet more entirely charming, thoroughly odd marvelousness to stoke those envious blazes. Little more than mandolin, brass, military drumming and some gorgeous multi-layered harmonies, it is as odd and joyous as waking up off the coast of France in a yacht you never knew you owned.

    Once every couple of years a song comes by to remind you that brilliance didn't start or end with your generation. This song should be played iin 100 years at something....either a party or a funeral. It's so perfect.

    Concordo com aqueles que acham que o Dom Casmurro era apaixonado pelo Escobar, e era dele que ele tinha ciúmes, não da Capitu. :3
