A tree may grow in Brooklyn, but a rose wilts in East Harlem. Or at least for Zach Condon's paramour, who, judging from the lyrics for "East Harlem," waits endlessly for him to come uptown. It seems the wait just got a bit longer, as Beirut just announced their new album, The Rip Tide (out August 30th) and tour dates. Stream the lovelorn single below.
