{"product_id":"beirut-the-flying-club-cup","title":"Beirut - The Flying Club Cup { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeirut’s The Flying Club Cup is a romantic travelogue in waltz time - a swooning, brass-soaked homage to old-world Europe filtered through indie sensibility. Originally released in 2007, it cemented Zach Condon’s gift for turning nostalgia into something vibrantly alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the band’s second studio album, The Flying Club Cup trades the Balkan wanderlust of its predecessor for a distinctly French palette. Named after a hot air balloon festival in France, the record drifts through chanson-inspired arrangements, swooping strings, and triumphant horn sections. Recorded with a more expansive ensemble, it feels richer and more orchestrated, yet still intimate at heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNantes bursts open with urgent piano and defiant brass, while A Sunday Smile balances buoyant rhythms with Condon’s quivering baritone. In The Penalty, dramatic percussion and sweeping melodies build a cinematic tension, and Cherbourg bathes in sepia-toned elegance. Every track feels like a postcard from a different arrondissement - wistful, windswept, and brimming with youthful longing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn vinyl, The Flying Club Cup’s lush arrangements breathe beautifully, giving its horns and strings room to swell and shimmer. For collectors, it is a lovingly crafted chapter in Beirut’s catalog - a record that invites you to spin it, close your eyes, and drift skyward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57447504314699,"sku":"656605365411","price":3.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/8448995983665_85quality_3690201-2411739.webp?v=1779853970","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/beirut-the-flying-club-cup","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
