After taking care of that bout of exhaustion set in from too-much-too-fast, blogosphere crown prince Zach Condon has admirably kept his name in your bloglines with well-timed and excellent EPs; videos with rampant, mustachioed debauchery; Grizzly Bear covers; and collabs with the likes of Get Him Eat Him in the studio and the Arcade Fire + Final Fantasy at Bowery. Top that? Young master Condon's got LP #2 in the can and ready to roll, set for release this fall.
So it's road test time, and Zach's been keepin' it Beirut across the Atlantic, doing a set for the sopping wet Glastonbury attendees. And a couple of days ago, the Condon crew gave a more intimate performance at London's Koko, where the band showed off some of the new including full-brassed, accordion oom-pa-pa track "Nantes" and the gorgeous ukulele lament "The Penalty." You can hear both tracks (along with the rest of the set) at Rewritable Content, who have snatched passable-quality audio for your LP-previewing pleasure.
The Flying Club Cup is out 10/9 on Ba Da Bing! Newbies sound great, really psyched for this record. Obviously we are not over our school girl crush on the kid. Tracklist after the jump.
