On each successive release, Beirut's Zach Condon keeps expanding his sonic palette and his taste for stylistic variety while sharpening his songcraft. MARCH OF THE ZAPOTEC/HOLLAND, released in 2009, brings together two EPs representing Condon's restlessly inventive musical fusions. The songs on MARCH OF THE ZAPOTEC's reflect Condon's travels to Oaxaca, where he worked with a 19-piece Mexican band for a sound that merges Latin folk, Balkan brass band, and his own Western pop instincts. The songs on HOLLAND, which Condon recorded at his home studio, have a more electronic sound that may remind listeners of `80s synth pop or contemporary acts like the Postal Service. Yet Condon's experiments never sound random or pieced together, but are made remarkably cohesive by his sharp, poetic sensibility.
