It's Sunday. What does that mean? For one, it means there's a new episode of Sunday Night Chill in the works. It also means that there's virtually no good new music being released, so we're going to have to pull something out of our time machine.Today's selection is "Elephant Gun" by Beirut. One of the best tracks on their Lon Gisland EP, the track is notable for Zach Condon's call to include a full orchestra behind his ukelele. Released in January of 2007, this song remains one of my favorite to this day.
