I'm going (not quite sure yet) to a festival where I'm going to see Beirut, so I need to get into their songs. To all the people who know them, could you help me and tell me what do you think are the best songs or albums to start with?
I already know "Postcards From Italy", "Nantes" and "The Concubine".

There's only two albums and they're both on the same level of accessibility. If you can't get in them don't try to force yourself to like them. Just do some inie menie minie moe bullshit to choose which one to listen to first and there you go.

The Flying Club Cup is their best album, I think. Listen to 'Elephant Gun' (which is from a separate EP), but from the Flying Club Cup my favourite song has to be 'Cliquot'. I also like 'Prenzlauerberg' from Gulag Orkestar and 'El Zocala' and 'The Akara' from March Of The Zapotec.

I totally forget the songs name but it's on the album Dark Was The Night.
