May Mix - 14. Beirut - Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)

Zach Condon's interesting songwriting contains a handful of songs in unusual time signatures and I picked this one as my favorite in 3/4. "Mount Wroclai" comes from the 2006 release, Gulag Orkestar and displays Zach's ability to play a good number of the instruments on the recording. This song has a nice build to it and I think it works great as a lead in to the last song on the mix - which will be announced tomorrow, completing our month of May. You can hear this song in its entirety at the Beirut MySpace site. If you don't know this band yet, I suggest making yourself familiar because I have a feeling that the next album that they are in the midst of recording is going to own.
