Beirut by Lina Gaißer
The Beirut LP will be released on November 10th.
Zach Condon has announced his new Beirut album Hadsel.
Condon relocated to the titular island in the northern reaches of Norway during the aftermath of the cancellation of his 2019 Gallipoli tour amidst persistent throat issues, and has returned four years on with a collection of 12 new songs.
“During my time in Hadsel, I worked hard on the music, lost in a trance and stumbling blindly through my own mental collapse that I had been pushing aside since I was a teenager,” Condon said.
I was left agonising many things past and present while the beauty of the nature, the northern lights and fearsome storms played an awesome show around me. The few hours of light would expose the unfathomable beauty of the mountains and the fjords, and the hours-long twilights would fill me with subdued excitement. I’d like to believe that scenery is somehow present in the music.
