Short intro

Gulag Orkestar is the debut album of Beirut. It was recorded in 2005 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Gulag was a Soviet government agency administering forced labor camps, while orkestar is the Serbo-Croatian word for orchestra. It is written in the booklet that the front and back photos were found in a library in Leipzig, torn out of a book. The original photographer was unknown to the creators of the album while it was recorded, but has since been discovered to be Sergey Chilikov. The album has received great critical acclaim and was later re-released to include the Lon Gisland EP. The album was later re-released to include the Lon Gisland EP.

He deserves some of it. Time and again, the most powerful element of Gulag Orkestar, and what ought to be emphasized, is Condon's acrobatic, powerful, emotionally nuanced voice. It could carry any style of music. Fixate for a second on the stuff he's doing on Rhineland Heartland. Album Name Gulag Orkestar. Type Album. Released date 2006. Labels Ba Da Bing.
