Label GB

The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers

Beirut is an American band formed by Zach Condon in 2006. Known for their unique blend of indie folk and world music, Beirut has captivated audiences with their rich instrumentation and evocative lyrics. Drawing inspiration from Condon's travels and experiences abroad, the band's sound is characterized by lush orchestration, incorporating elements of Balkan folk, French chanson, and Mexican mariachi. With a discography spanning over a decade, Beirut continues to push musical boundaries and create enchanting melodies that transport listeners to distant lands.

Since their debut album "Gulag Orkestar" in 2006, Beirut has garnered critical acclaim for their distinctive sound and captivating live performances. Their sophomore release "The Flying Club Cup" further solidified their reputation as one of the most innovative bands in the indie music scene.

With each subsequent album including "The Rip Tide," "No No No," and "Gallipoli," Beirut has continued to evolve while staying true to their signature style. Their music resonates with fans around the world who appreciate the band's ability to seamlessly merge different cultural influences into a cohesive sonic experience.

Back In Stock

The fifth album from Zach Condon and his band (Nick Petree, Paul Collins, Ben Lansz, Kyle Resnick, Aaron Arntz) recorded with producer Gabe Wax (Adrianne Lenker, Big Thief).

Heavenly trumpets and Latin-smudged beats. Sonorous vocals front heartbeat rhythms (well your heartbeat if you were a flamenco dancer maybe). Singing trumpets and rich sonorous vocals fly and hover. This is happy sad music as though the old king has died and we mourn his death whilst simultaneously celebrating the crowning of the new king. With a sprig of spaghetti Western and the Farfisa organ the album was written on.
