The last two of the dozen videos documenting Beirut's Flying Club Cup are up over at the album's website. We're going to miss following a crooning Zach Condon down all these dank hallways. After seeing so much of him here on Forkcast you start to believe this is how he goes about every day, strolling down to the laundromat  while singing as a dude with a camera trails a few steps behind. Whistle while you work, and so on. You think? He finishes with "A Sunday Smile", the first tune heard from the new record, along with the title track, recorded in a church with a gaggle of friends filling the pews, which provides an insanely over-the-top finale. It is finished.
