The last time we mentioned Beirut on this here site, it was to report the cancellation of their European tour, Mr. Condon taking some time off to get his shit together.
Well, it looks like he might have sorted himself out as he’s got a pair of EP’s ready for release next year.
On February 17 in the U.S. and February 16 in Europe, Condon’s own Pompeii Records will issue a pair of EPs from the Condon, packaged together but spread out over separate CDs.
The first, March of the Zapotec, collects six new tracks partially recorded in Mexico recently by Beirut, while the second, Holland, is credited to Realpeople and features five new recordings from Condon’s early incarnation.
Beirut: March of the Zapotec:
01 El Zocalo

Realpeople: Holland:
