Yesterday, Beirut released a new 7” record. The single contains ‘East Harlem’ on the A side and ‘Goshen’ on the B, their first new songs since 2009′s March of the Zapotec EP. They’ve also got their third LP, The Rip Tide, slated to be released on August 30th. After listening to the song ‘East Harlem’ exactly once, I suddenly cannot wait to see them in Portland this July. Check out both of the tracks, along with their upcoming world tour dates, below. Also, as a former beagle owner, I approve of this album cover.
