www.pitchforkmedia.com says:

The new song had the brass oompahs of Macedonian band Kočani Orkestar. The album version maintains this gypsy rhythm, but it starts out with sparse electronic tones and Condon’s multi-tracked, lightly distorted baritone. “All I wanted was the best for our lives,” he begins wistfully. As the waltzing melodies wheel around, a Balkan village’s (or a Brooklyn neighborhood’s) worth of overdubbed vocals and creaking instrumentation joins in. Despite the 21st-century opening, the slurred lyrics and old-country feel make “A Sunday Smile” sound like the kind of handed-down song where everyone knows at least the chorus– and sings it when the bar is about to close

Finaly it’s here : Beirut: “A Sunday Smile”
