Pitchfork has got the scoop on Beirut's second album, tentatively titled The Flying Club Cup. It'll drop on October 2, 2007, from Ba Da Bing Records (distrobution through 4AD?).
They'll also play two New York City shows: one will be a part of the Wordless Music Series at the Society for Ethical Culture on September 24th. The other one will be on September 26th at the surreal Delacorte Theater (pictured) in the heart of Central Park, which is where Shakespeare In The Park takes place.
