"When 19-year-old New Mexico native Zach Condon (a.k.a. Beirut) takes accordion-led waltzes and gypsy stomps for a spin on this debut, they sound exciting rather than exhumed.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Chock-full of accordion, brass noise and Condon's sinewy murmur, the album has got melancholic Easter Euro charm from here to Kiev.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A astonishingly moving distillation of Eastern European melancholia with elegant histrionics."
