beirut

I doubt that anything could go better with the music of Beirut than a dance hall full of hard drinking soldiers and nurses. Shot in black and white and with the added bonus of chicken chasing and eyeball magic tricks, the video for “Vagabond” is, well, perfectly Beirut. There’s some smoking, drinking, vomiting and shots of the lovely Zach Condon signing in a very sharp suit — in other words, there’s a lot of awesome. We love the video for “Vagabond” as much as we love the song, so if you haven’t picked up last years The Rip Tide yet, you really should. Otherwise, you’re sending a message to people that you don’t like good music.
