Beirut are one of the best bands around. Fact. Zach Condon, who is bile-inducingly young, has the best voice in modern music. Fact. And, to add wonderful insult to beautiful injury they go and make the best videos too. If I was a professional musician I would shoot myself now.

Luckily for everyone, though, I’m not, so I can enjoy their genius, and so can you with this little run through of some of the best of Beirut Youtube has to offer.

To start with, something I’ve blogged before, which is the video to Postcards from Italy, made from various bits of patched-together Super-8 footage. Beautiful:

Another official video of theirs is the intriguingly great Elephant Gun, featuring, amongst other things, some mustache goodness:

During the shoot of this video, Zach Condon did this great impromptu version of the above Postcards from Italy:

Here’s a version of Nantes from the streets, hopefully of Nantes, but I have no idea really, it has some great bin-drumming:

This is another version of Nantes from some stairs in Brooklyn. It builds fantastically:

And from the same collection of Flying Club Cup album videos, here’s In The Mausoleum, the guy sitting in the chair’s wearing my t-shirt!:

Here are some members of Beirut and Arcade Fire onstage at the Bowery Ballroom in New York doing a transcendent version of The Gulag Orkestar:

I could go on and on, but if you want to catch some more wonderful Beirut/Youtube goodness, you can find their official channel for the Flying Club Cup album here, and learn more about the band here.
