I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.
Zach Condon
I just reached the point where I realised, I need to stop repeating myself if I'm ever actually going to enjoy the music I'm creating.
Zach Condon
I can't be a student. I always hated that lifestyle.

When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player. One of my earliest memories is him kind of forcing a guitar on all my brothers and me. You know, You have to practice three hours a day! I hated guitar at the time. I kind of picked up trumpet to spite him.

I spent my entire life working with the smallest budget I could get. Just working with old, junky, donated equipment. The only things I bought myself were the trumpet and the $9 ukulele.

You can never not feel like that, as a working artist these days. It's funny - time off makes me nervous, but so does time on. At least the pressure wasn't coming from outside.

I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.
Zach Condon
It was funny to just take a backseat and be like, 'Wow, I might be in this crazy place, but maybe I don't need to understand everything, maybe I don't need to be someone else.'

I was always looking outside of myself for stories and ideas and influences and then I kind of realized in 2010, that all of this time, I've developed a sound. And I've never fully explored it.
Zach Condon
It's a natural tendency of mine to not even listen to lyrics.
Zach Condon
It's just not an image I had ever put out about myself - the bedroom synth guy. The whole thing seemed ridiculous.
Zach Condon
I do feel like my music, in some weird way, is probably better suited for cinema than for anything else - I can't really explain, other than I think that music has been mostly inspired often by soundtracks.

It's a little cheeky growing up in Santa Fe was kind of a weird experience, because it's such a touristy town. So sometimes it feels a little like you're in a town that's just on display. You walk around downtown and all the shops are galleries or high end boutiques, so it can feel like you don't belong there even though you are from there.
Zach Condon
There was always a unique Beirut sound, it was always there, and so this time I just dove straight into that, instead of daydreaming and wandering.
Zach Condon
I feel like I've met most people I look up to musically. I just want to meet Chef.

I felt like I needed to get a few side projects out of my system before I settled in to do the new record. Usually what's asked of you, everything's a year cycle. When you get caught up in that cycle, it can be kind of brutal, actually. It was good I got to take a year off, with no pressure coming from anywhere.
Zach Condon
Raucous drunken trumpets and instrumentation tend to guide the way you think. They can give you a path to follow lyrically.
Zach Condon
I think it's become much harder because I'm more afraid of every step I take. I'm more aware of its ramifications, I'm more aware of the less creative aspects of music - like the business-side of things for example.
