STOP THE WORLD.
Does Beirut sound like that? Really? All these years I never ever ever ever wanted to listen to him/them coz I thought it was a hypster band, like Devendra Banhart or seudo hippie folk like that, which I find incredibly hideous. This song is beautiful. Really, really beautiful. I even like the brass.
Wow, what a surprise. I'm getting rid of one preconception.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I think a lot of people see them in that way, mostly before they hear their music properly. Sometimes they are a bit iffy with me, but when they get it right it's amazing. Nantes is another amazing song of theirs from the same album. And they use a lot of brass, which I love! I also hate that type of music. Bon Iver is an example of something I thought was shitty, pretentious, hipster music until I listened and was blown away.

As you were.
