im so glad you posted this! I love this song ... His voice is amazing! I wanted to share this...
Zach Condon was brought up in Virginia before moving back to New Mexico. Condon attended Santa Fe High School, where he was a student until he dropped out at the age of 16. He later enrolled in community college, which he attended for a short period before travelling to Europe for four months with his brother Ryan at the age of 17. He stayed most of this time in Paris where he became aware of Balkan folk music, popular with Parisian students. This discovery, and Condon's subsequent exploration of world music proved to be instrumental in the development of Beirut's sound.
When he was 15, Condon recorded his first solo album, The Joys of Losing Weight, which can be found only on certain blogs and websites to download, as it was never released for general sale.
On his return from Europe, Condon enrolled at the University of New Mexico, where he studied Portuguese and Photography. Condon recorded the bulk of the material used for Gulag Orkestar by himself in his bedroom, going into the studio to finish the album.
On the strength of the recordings, Condon was signed under the name of Beirut to Ba Da Bing!

You are just a wealth of knowledge! I love the part about quitting high school and dropping out of college! Made me really happy to see people do it on they're own!
