March of the Zapotec/Holland is a double EP by Beirut. March of the Zapotec contains music influenced by Zach Condon's then recent trip to Oaxaca, Mexico.[1] The Jimenez Band, a 19-piece band from Teotitlán del Valle, backs Condon on this EP.[2] March of the Zapotec also features one of Condon's favorite works, "The Shrew".[3] Holland contains electronic music, credited to "Realpeople", one of Condon's pre-Beirut pseudonyms.[4]
Leak and Early Release
On January 23, the EPs leaked to file-sharing networks[5], and four days later, on January 27, the iTunes US and UK stores made the album available for purchase. Despite this being almost a month before the album was expected to be released, Condon has not made any statements regarding this inconsistency.
