: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Gallipoli started, in my mind, when I finally had my old Farfisa :,
: organ shipped to New York from my parent's home in Santa Fe, NM. :
:' I acquired the organ from my first job at the CCA; the local ':
,: foreign film theater and gallery space. 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. ':
