A traveling circus' :, : keyboard player (not a joke) had left it in the warehouse after : :' certain keys and functions of the organ had broken down and ': ,: stopped working. I spent the next three years writing every :, : song I could possibly squeeze out of it. Most of my first : :' record (Gulag Orkestar, 2006) and large parts of my second ': ,: record (The Flying Club Cup, 2007) were written entirely on this :, : organ as well, where it lived in my childhood bedroom not far : :' from downtown Santa Fe. I enlisted my father's help to get it ': ,: shipped out to Brooklyn, then up to my new home at the time in a :, : corner of Westchester on the Titicus reservoir. The house was : :' the caretaker's home of a mansion owned by a multi-millionaire ': ,: serving 20 years for tax and money fraud and I don't know what :, : else. I started writing the first songs of Gallipoli on that : :' organ sometime in late 2016, as the winter started. ': ,: :, : Gallipoli, Beirut's fifth album, started life when Zach Condon : :' returned to his old Farfisa organ, the same one he used to ': ,: write his first two albums,Gulag Orkestar (2006) and The Flying :, : Club Cup (2007). After stints writing and recording in both New : :' York and Berlin, with time for Zach to recover from a broken ': ,: arm factored in, band plus producer Gabe Wax (Speedy Ortiz, :, : Soccer Mommy, Adrianne Lenker / Big Thief) headed to Puglia in : :' Italy to finish the album. ': ,: :, : With the remote rural setting "the right amount of isolated", an : :' intense month of 12 to 16-hour days in the studio with day ': ,: trips around the coastline followed. Inspired by the :, : surroundings, Gallipoli is unintentionally more visceral than : :' Beirut's more recent albums, alive with an energy that is ': ,: further enhanced by every creak and groan of their instruments, :, : every detuned note, and all amp buzz and technical malfunction : :' being left in the cracks of the songs.
