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.

It's a weird thing to be nineteen and be in the public eye. It was a crazy thing, it was a big deal to me, and it changed me in a lot of ways. And now that it's five, six years later, I wanted to look back at that, the start of it all, the excitement and the naïveté about it, and it just fascinated me to reflect on all that.

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.

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.

After so many years of whispery, DIY vocals, there's this new generation of voices that are really starting to burst through the seams.
Zach Condon
I'd been living out of a suitcase since I was 17 years old, and it just got to the point where it was ridiculous. Besides, it was really hurting everything I was trying to do in music to feel so consistently homeless was no way to endure touring and stress.
Zach Condon
I tend to hear rhythm and melody, chord-progressions, long before I hear words.
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.'
Zach Condon
I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.
Zach Condon
My thought with harmonies and melodies in general, is that if it doesn't come right away then it's never going to come at all.
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.
