Though the album cover appears to be plain and simple, this stands in stark contrast of everything Beirut is. Filled with lush harmonies, dense instrumentation, and tons of personality, the project is poised to release their latest work, The Rip Tide, on August 30th via Pompeii Records, and I know I don’t stand alone when I say that I can’t wait.
In support of this effort, Beirut will tour the world in what seems to be both a bold and appropriate run that will take Zach Condon and co. to the holiday season. Check out a full list of dates below, which includes notable stops at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and The Greek Theater here in Los Angeles. We can’t wait.
