Bleep

Beirut's fifth album Gallipoli sees Zach Condon return to the same Farfisa organ that made up the body of his first two albums, Gulag Orkestar (2006) and The Flying Club Cup (2007).

Named after the Italian town where the title track was written, and produced by Gabe Wax, Gallipoli is a more visceral recording than previous Beirut albums, alive with an energy that is enhanced by every creak and groan of the instruments used and the amp buzz that fills up the cracks between the songs.
