Beirut – The Rip Tide
If you want a physical copy of The Rip Tide you’ll have to wait until August 30. Right now it’s only available digitally at the band’s website for $7.99. I’ve been listening to the first single “East Harlem” for the past few weeks, and if it’s any indication, The Rip Tide will not disappoint.
