Beirut Pushes Album Release Date Forward

The next month was going to be a hard one for us. A whole four more weeks to wait to hear Zach Condon’s accordions sing over Beirut’s brand new 12-track release? It just seemed way too long.

Well, now the band is throwing us a bone. According to Prefix, the group’s third album The Rip Tide will be releasing the electronic version of their album four weeks before the physical copy was slated to hit stores on Aug. 30.
