Beirut Announces New Album 'Gallipoli' And World Tour Dates
Monday, 22 October 2018
Written by Laura Johnson
Beirut will return with a new album early next year.
Zach Condon has announced plans to follow up 2015's 'No No No' with 'Gallipoli' on February 11 and called on producer Gabe Wax to join him once again. Head here for a detailed statement from Condon about the making of the album.
He will support it with a North American tour that will kick off on February 10 in New York and wrap up in Los Angeles on March 5. He will then head to Europe on March 30 for two nights at Funkhaus in Berlin before calling in Brussels, Groningen, Paris, Cologne, Utrecht, Manchester, Leeds, London, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Zurich. Tickets for all dates go on sale on October 26 at 10am local time.
Head below to listen to the record's title track, which was written and recorded in one 10 hour sitting following Condon joining a brass band procession in the town of the same name. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, the track opens with a huge brass composition, while throughout there is a drum pulsing like a heartbeat and Condon's vocals take a backseat to the rich instrumentation.
