March of the Zapotec / Holland

Beirut

A double EP split between Oaxacan funeral brass and intimate bedroom electronica. A fascinating bridge between global folk traditions and synth-pop isolation.

February 13, 2009 · Pompeii Records (2)

A striking contrast between communal, earthy mourning and isolated, digital longing.

Moments Worth Listening For
The triumphant, mournful swell of the funeral band on La Llorona
The sudden shift from organic brass to the glitchy, warm pulse of Venice
Zach Condon's voice cracking slightly against the dry drum machine on No Dice
