Beirut’s wonderful third album The Rip Tide, was released digitally this week, but we know there are many of you out there who are holding out for the physical product. If that’s you, well then this is like getting to peak inside your gift on Christmas Eve, except instead of being just a day ahead of release it’s 22 days ahead of release (so it’s like December 3rd I guess?). The album includes the three fantastic tracks we’ve already heard; “East Harlem,” “Goshen” and “Santa Fe,” as well as six other new tracks from Zach Condon and co.
Stream it below courtesy of NPR, and buy the physical project on August 30th when it’s released on Pompeii Records. (Unless you love it so much that you just have to have it now, then you can buy it on iTunes.)
