Lon Gisland is an EP by Beirut, released on CD by Ba Da Bing! Records in January 2007[1] and on single-sided 12" LP by Chouette Records.[2]
It is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Gulag Orkestar and the first album performed by the full band, which came together after Gulag OrkestarTemplate:'s release. Lon Gisland includes a reworked version of "Scenic World", from Beirut's previous album.[3] The EP’s title does not refer to a person named Lon Gisland, but is instead a play on the place-name “Long Island.”
Reception
Pitchfork Media's Brandon Stosuy gave Lon Gisland a positive review, calling Condon's decision to play with a full band a "smart move". Stosuy ended his review by writing: "It seems Condon's getting all this-- by embracing the developments, he's started to go beyond chewing the scenery to, well, actually living in it".[3]
