The ornate and magnificent Beirut perfectly distills their brand of Balkan folk and indie pop on The Rip Tide, a brief but weighty collection of songs that spurn the vagabond lifestyle highlighted in earlier albums for reflections on home and family. The first album recorded as a full band rather than lead Zach Condon laying down tracks one at a time, there’s a lush immediacy to these songs. From the opening wheeze of a chord organ on “A Candle’s Fire” giving way to the bouncy drum machines of “Santa Fe” and the oompah marching band exercise of “Payne’s Bay,” it’s easy to get lost in the beautiful weeds of Beirut. Why not stay lost for a while?
