By now you've probably wrapped yourself up in the French musings of Beirut's new release The Flying Club Cup like clothes warm out of the dryer. And since the band's just wrapped up its U.S. theater tour and is scheduled to sidle across Europe next, we've been getting a bit panicky not knowing where we'll get our next pseudo-European fix.
Filmed just last month, Beirut's new Take Away videos--one for each song on the album--follow the band and occasional guests around Brooklyn's less-trampled corners. The eight-piece and La Blogothèque also lassoed Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste for "Cliquot" (Video #5).
Prepare to have your socks charmed off by the first video for "Nantes":
