Zach Condon's new EP, 'Zapotec/Holland' is of course really two EPs meshed together into one super hybrid EP, that's not be confused with an actual LP. If you were able to follow that, and you're still reading then you'll be interested to know that Condon's new work is pretty freakin' good. For two EPs that sound totally different and for the most part have nothing to do with another, somehow for whatever reason it works. The first half, 'Zapotec' was music that was originally composed by Condon for what ended up being a failed movie project in Mexico. So he wisely decided to release the music anyways with 'Holland,' the second half of the EP. 'Holland' focus more on a 'electronic-dance' theme, then the usual Beirut 'old-earth' music style. You may be thinking... "Beirut with electronic beats and keyboards and shit?! Well now I've heard everything!" But seriously, it's pretty good and should be treated as so.
Just remember, it's not an a full-length LP or anything... and it should be kept in mind these are or less songs to get you by until the next official Beirut record.
4 out of 5 Stars.
Best Songs: La Llorona, On a Bayonet, The Concubine, No Dice
