Check It: Beirut

"It's been a long time since I've seen you smile..."

So we're all a little sad that Beirut is on hiatus. But fear not! Pitchfork has optioned the Beirut- La Blogotheque collaboration "Cheap Magic Inside" for their One Week Only section, and I highly recommend cruising over and checking it out. The film was a special project in which each song from Beirut's sophomore album, The Flying Club Cup, was filmed somewhere in lovely Brooklyn, creating something of a companion piece to the album itself. And don't worry Beirut fans; something tells me Zach and Co. will be back soon enough...

Here's a different take of album standout "Nantes", though the Cheap Magic version is way cooler if you ask me...
