also if you want to listen to live versions of "nantes" and the lovely "penalty", check out rewritable content's page for beirut's complete show at the koko on the 26th.

while you're at it, check out this song that zach recorded under the guise of the real people. definitely more electronic than what you've grown to love, but still gorgeous to listen to!
