What started as a few extra unreleased tracks from Beirut's formative recording years quickly grew into an entire extra records-worth of music from his past, and a larger project of remixing and remastering everything he found for good measure'. 'Artifacts' is a phylogenetic tree. A double album's worth of music that traces the evolution of Beirut from a 14-year old Condon's first attempts at bringing the music he heard in his mind to life, to the fully formed Beirut we know today.
