Lon Gisland is an EP by Beirut, released on CD by Ba Da Bing! Records in January 2007[1] and on single-sided 12" LP by Chouette Records.[2]
It is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Gulag Orkestar and the first album performed by the full band, which came together after Gulag Orkestar's release. Lon Gisland includes a reworked version of "Scenic World", from Beirut's previous album.[3] The EP’s title does not refer to a person named Lon Gisland, but is instead a play on the place-name “Long Island.”
