Beirut seems to be trickling new material out to keep the band's fans satiated. They recently released their Lon Gisland EP, and now have two new songs exclusively available over at eMusic. The EP (if you can call a collection of two songs that) is titled Pompeii, and contains the tracks "Fountains and Tramways" and "Napoleon on the Bellorophon." The first adds interesting electronics to Zach Condon's grab bag of sounds, with a blipping beat progressing softly under his deep, swooning voice, and Condon taking up the trumpet at the song's end. The second is more of the usual gypsy-rock-leaning sound we've come to expect from Beirut, heavy on trumpet, accordion, and piano.
