## Description

US LP pressing. Six months of recording has led to the Flying Club Cup, an homage to Frances culture, fashion, history, and music. Two years ago, Zach Condon immersed himself in Balkan folk, absorbed sounds, scales, styles, and the sonic joys of a skeletally structured, cacophonic ensemble-and moved west, soaking up the likes of Fran&#xE7;ois Hardy, Charles Aznavour, and, most notably, Jacques Brel (a huge influence on both Scott Walker and Mark E. Smith), Condon has been articulating his conversational French. Most of the album was created at a nondescript Albuquerque office space, a.k.a. a Hawk and a Hacksaws practice room; Heather Trost plays violin and viola on three songs. Engineering and production assistance came from Griffin Rodriguez (A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Man Man) while additional recording was done with Owen Pallet (Final Fantasy) at the Masonic church studio owned by the Arcade Fire. Within the spectacle and intimacy of the Flying Club Cup, you can hear a love letter to the joie de vivre that defines our existence. Listen closer, and you also hear the emergence of a singular musical talent-Mr. Zachary F. Condon, at present living in Paris-unbounded by cultural borders and by where his heart.

    Timeless Album
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015*

I think The Flying Club Cup belongs in my top ten albums of all time. Everything just comes together perfectly from start to finish. I love the combination of french horn and ukulele that Zach Condon brings, and he plays both very well. The rest of the instrumentation goes pretty deep on some tracks and all the players sound great and play tightly together. I highly recommend checking out the take away shows on youtube if you are a fan and haven't heard them.I do want to say that when I first heard Beirut it really took me awhile to get into Zach Condon's vibratic singing style. If you don't like it--honestly I'm not surprised. Try listening to it as another instrument in the band and don't focus on it too closely, and give his voice a chance to grow on you--you wont regret it. If you really can't stand the style, well as my mother says "there's no accounting for taste."

    Still Wowing After Its Debut
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2009*

I know I've mentioned this disc under the R J Moss monicker, but I'm throwing another round of applause at it, given that nothing from American pop music has rivalled or excelled it. It's that good! Unpack the superlatives.. so finely calibrated as to be note perfect, from the conch call-to-arms  through to its finale. You make your own luck with this sense of timing, and my fear is that Condon will find this hard to top. It's up there with Astral Weeks, Highway 61 Revisited, Blue, A Walk Across The Rooftops(Blue Nile) in creating a visually and aurally compelling and alluring parallel world. Hyperboles aside, this is a disc to savour. For all its influences, well documented by reviewers, it transcends them all with a verve and nerve that is its author's alone.I'd pay the entry price for,'In The Mausoleum' on its own, but such pickiness is beside the point. 'Do yourself a favour'. Condon's resemblance to fin de siecle French Romantic, Arthur Rimbaud, per his video clips, intensify the Parisian ambience of the disc.

    Beirut has done it again!
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2007*

I was very much looking forward to this album, since I couldn't get enough of Gulag and Lon Gisland, and even with all of my great expectations I am absolutely delighted with the Flying Club Cup. The music behind Zach's fall-in-love-with-me voice is so complex and rich that Beirut can hardly be called a band - it is an orchestra.  Where else can you find such instruments as the harpsichord, glockenspiel, accordion, ukulele, and others that you simply don't hear much nowadays (unless you look!)?  Check out this album's website to see videos of all of the songs - you won't be disappointed.  They really look like they're having fun playing these incredible songs (on one they even use a watermelon as an instrument).  The sheer imagination and creativity of Zach Condon and company take this new album a long way in my book, but the beautiful melodies and Condon's haunting voice truly make this a success.
