Beirut - Gallipoli

NEW VINYL LP ON 4AD 2007

180 GRAM VINYL. 

Anticipated fifth full length from Beirut. Gallipoli is a return to form of sorts for Zach Condon. The inspiration for the album came when Condon sat down at his old Farfisa organ, the same one he wrote his first two albums on (2006's Gulag Orkester and 2007's The Flying Club Cup). This, in addition to the remote rural Italian setting of Puglia (where the album was eventually recorded with producer Gabe Wax of Soccer Mommy/Speedy Ortiz fame), created the "the right amount of isolated" for long and intense studio days to produced the album.
