New Beirut Double EP!
Yes, you read that correctly… Beirut is back, with a double dose of EP goodness for your listening pleasure!
Entitled March of the Zapotec, the first EP consists of songs written by Beirut and recorded in Mexico with the help of Oaxacan march masters The Jimenez Band. The second EP, Holland, showcases Zach’s latest bedroom-style recordings under his former moniker Realpeople, including the previously released “Venice” (in the 2007 Believer music issue), and “My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille” (on the Natalie Portman curated Big Change charity album). Taken together, the two EPs proudly display the scope of Beirut’s work over the last year.

Villagers will be appearing alongside Elbow, Liam Finn, Jape, and Steve Reynolds on Other Voices on RTE 2 tonight at 11.15pm. Villagers have been tipped by many critics in the Irish media as a band to watch in 2009. Of Course, Analogue was watching them last year when we booked them to play their very first gig at our 1st birthday bash in October. Make sure to tune in tonight because they put on an overwhelmingly good live show.
Of Montreal – An Eluardian Instance

Of Montreal ~ An Eluardian Instance (2008) Dir: Jesse Ewles from jesse ewles on Vimeo.
An Eluardian Instance is my favourite song off Of Montreal‘s Skeletal Lamping, I love this video. It’s pissing rain outside my window in Dublin but this video/song is the perfect remedy for those rainy January blues. I really like videos where simple ideas are shot well.
An Eluardian Instance Lyrics:
Does she know, you should know
That I am not just searching for some first time high?
I know it’s all about perceptions
And I accept you as my very first mover
I remember riding bikes
(I remember riding bikes)
On Koster Island
Plotting midnight raids
On the Swedish plum trees
(That summer)
It was too cold to swim
So we climbed up on the rocky shore
And freaked out on the mountain goats
But they were not impressed or scared of us
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember?
I was a foreigner when you appeared
From the shadows at the Mono Club
I was a hater in the depths of an emotional hibernation
You sat me down
We had some drinks and you told me all kinds of insanity
I asked your friend if you were available
She answered, “No, but yes, oh well, oh well, yes and no”
Now I’m viewing my memory reel in reverse
Scrolling back to come to feel your weather then
Now I’m noting the inverse of our parabola
To predict the points of thou-shalt-not-return
This inbreeding of ideas is intolerable
I wish David was here
Can’t take your persecution complex
And I’m not going to absorb your stress output anymore
Oh, don’t you pimp out my heart, don’t you pimp out my heart
