"So, with that in mind, a new Beirut album is a big deal for us. And yet, as with any of my favorite bands, I worried that his new albums won’t live up to my relatively high expectations. And that is especially true for an artist with such a unique sound. Thankfully, The Rip Tide lives up to expectations. There are no dramatic stylistic shifts here, but songwriter Zach Condon’s matured as a songwriter and his music has become more concise and more focused than it was on his prior albums. Indeed, considering the number of moving parts on any one Beirut song – a small brass section, piecemeal percussion, keys, vocals, etc. – it is quite a accomplishment that the songs here feel short, simple and punchy. Both “Santa Fe” and “East Harlem” are excellent examples of catchy, to-the-point pop-music. And even the more pensive songs never linger or feel over done. As a result, this is a good pairing for Kasey’s poached halibut with corn salad recipe. The halibut is a festive dish with simple, clean ingredients with a lot of flavor. If you are looking for a little bit of romance you this pairing is for you" (Vía: turntablekitchen.com)
