P.S. Italian FIAT car on sleeve. Oh, no! It's soviet LADA ("Rus" at front number). FIAT was a prototype... 



It's just this song that refers to Italy. Gulag (from the album title) refers to a soviet concept, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Finding it increasingly hard not to give these guys an instant 10 on everything they do.

I know another song by this band but have no clue what it could be. Anyone know a popular song by them?



Reminds me of the sound of The Tragically Hip's Ahead by a Century.

RP is missing a few great tracks from Beirut.  Like 'Nantes' from 2007's album The Flying Club Cup :

Beirut - Nantes live on KCRW




Oh yes, Nantes is great. Lovely song. It's not being played on Radio Paradise? That doesn't seem right.

i  thought Rufus Wainright but someone mentioned  Muse and that's close...the lyrics improve the song

Thanks to RP I found Beirut and like them a lot.

yes it is annoying 
Voice grates me a bit, but this is too catchy not to enjoy.
Slavjank Calexico!

Sounds like a cover of a Muse thingy, to my ears.  I like it, though...
First time hearing this tune.  I do not dislike it and look forward to giving it the opportunity to grow on me.  
Bill has shown a penchant for tenaciously keeping songs in rotation that were not well received by the RP community. I hope this is one of those. Easy 9 for me.

Shocked to see how low the rating for this is here. Beautiful, nostalgic, bittersweet song.  I love it. One of the best singles of the 2000s, and basically a template for what would come in the 2010s, for better or worse. Vance Joy and the Lumineers, et al. owe a debt, but this, this is the real deal.
