Double vinyl LP pressing. Artifacts began humbly as a means of compiling a few early Beirut EPs for a proper physical release. However, as Zach Condon explains in album's excellent liner notes, reconnecting with old recordings through fresh ears turned a simple re-issue project into something much more expansive. "When the decision came to re-release this collection, I found myself digging through hard drives looking for something extra to add to the compilation. What started as a few extra unreleased tracks from my formative recording years quickly grew into an entire extra records-worth of music from my past, and a larger project of remixing and remastering everything I found for good measure." Artifacts is a phylogenetic tree. A double-LP's worth music that traces the evolution of Beirut from a 14-year old Condon's first attempts at bringing the music he heard in his mind to life, to the fully formed Beirut we know today. - Disc 1 - 1 Elephant Gun 2 My Family's Role in the World Revolution 3 Scenic World 4 The Long Island Sound 5 Carousels 6 Transatlantique 7 O Leãozinho 8 Autumn Tall Tales 9 Fyodor Dormant 10 Poisoning Claude 11 Bercy 12 Your Sails 13 Irrlichter - Disc 2 - 1 Sicily 2 Now I'm Gone 3 Napoleon on the Bellerophon 4 Interior of a Dutch House 5 Fountains and Tramways 6 Hot Air Balloon 7 Fisher Island Sound 8 So Slowly 9 Die Treue Zum Ursprung 10 The Crossing 11 Zagora 12 Le Phare Du Cap Bon 13 Babylon
