Free Music Notes for Lon Gisland
Free Music Review: Boring and repetitive
Hit: 1 Stars
After listening to Lon Gisland, I would that Beirut is way overrated. It's hard to believe how boring and repetitive the songs are. There is no tension, no change, no drama. It sounds like the band is having fun, but since they're just playing the same thing over and over, I don't think that they are. Avoid this one.
Lon Gisland Poster
The sleeper hit of 2006, Beirut's Gulag Orkestar came out of nowhere to sell tens of thousands of copies in a matter of months and wound up on countless critics' year-end lists. As a stopgap before recording a new full-length in Fall 2007 -- and as a way to capture some current songs being performed at shows -- the eight-member band checked into Sea Side Studios in Brooklyn to record Lon Gisland.These are the first studio recordings made by the entire group, and a sampling of the most recent songs by orkestar leader Zach Condon. Lon Gisland features four new tunes and a full band reworking of Gulag's "Scenic World." The five-song EP was initially released with the European edition of Gulag Orkestar (4AD) and as a limited edition, one-sided vinyl 12-inch by Chouette. The Ba Da Bing edition is in a highly collectible digipak format.
