Artifacts

<div class='description'><p>Double vinyl LP pressing. Artifacts began humbly as a means of compiling a few early Beirut EPs for a proper physical release. However, as Zach Condon explains in album's excellent liner notes, reconnecting with old recordings through fresh ears turned a simple re-issue project into something much more expansive. "When the decision came to re-release this collection, I found myself digging through hard drives looking for something extra to add to the compilation. What started as a few extra unreleased tracks from my formative recording years quickly grew into an entire extra records-worth of music from my past, and a larger project of remixing and remastering everything I found for good measure." Artifacts is a phylogenetic tree. A double-LP's worth music that traces the evolution of Beirut from a 14-year old Condon's first attempts at bringing the music he heard in his mind to life, to the fully formed Beirut we know today.</p></div> <br><ul><li>Disc 1, Track: 1 - Elephant Gun<li>Disc 1, Track: 2 - My Family's Role in the World Revolution<li>Disc 1, Track: 3 - Scenic World<li>Disc 1, Track: 4 - The Long Island Sound<li>Disc 1, Track: 5 - Carousels<li>Disc 1, Track: 6 - Transatlantique<li>Disc 1, Track: 7 - O Leãozinho<li>Disc 1, Track: 8 - Autumn Tall Tales<li>Disc 1, Track: 9 - Fyodor Dormant<li>Disc 1, Track: 10 - Poisoning Claude<li>Disc 1, Track: 11 - Bercy<li>Disc 1, Track: 12 - Your Sails<li>Disc 1, Track: 13 - Irrlichter<li>Disc 2, Track:
