who would you compare them toIt's influenced a lot by Eastern European folk music. Musically it's somewhat comparable to Neutral Milk Hotel (lots of horns, acoustic string instruments) although his voice is a lot better than Mangum's, and instead of building songs around acoustic guitar (there are no guitars on the album) it's stuff like ukuleles, accordions, violins, and mandolins.

Here's a song they posted on their site if you want a sample: http://www.beirutband.com/mp3/Beruit_Postcards%20From%20Italy.mp3
