Eclectic indie collective Beirut has combined styles ranging from the pre-rock vocal era and Eastern European Gypsy music to the alternately plaintive and whimsical indie folk of the Decemberists and the lo-fi psychedelic experimentation of Neutral Milk Hotel. The brainchild of American multi-instrumentalist Zach Condon, the project released its first recording, the full-length Gulag Orkestar, in 2006. After refining their sound over the next few albums while retaining a broad musical base, Beirut's fourth album, 2015's No No No, was their first to reach the Top 50 of the Billboard 200.
