Brooklynite (by way of New Mexico, by way of gypsy fantasy-land) Zach Condon continues to astonish even the most grit-toothed nay-sayers, demonstrating his precocious talent yet again on new Beirut tune "Elephant Gun", awarded a hearty four-star rating by this here website.

"Elephant Gun" leads off Condon's second release and follow-up to 2006's much-accoladed Gulag Orkestar. The Lon Gisland EP (rendered exotic by a mere misplaced space), hits U.S. shops January 30 thanks to Ba Da Bing! Records. If you're a UK resident, you may have already scooped up the EP, bundled with 4AD-stamped copies of Gulag Orkestar released across the pond this past fall. eMusic aficionados can score it today as well.
