What was pretty crazy was to plan a wedding around a tour. It felt very getting-hitched-in-Vegas style. It was like, we played a show in Salt Lake City, ran to New Mexico, we got married, and then I was off to Lisbon.

Raucous drunken trumpets and instrumentation tend to guide the way you think. They can give you a path to follow lyrically.

I'm sure that's every adolescent's complaint about their home town. When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.

I dropped out of high school and I tried to go to community college for a little while. I can't be a student. I always hated that lifestyle.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.

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.

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.

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.

I think that sonically, music speaks volumes more than words do, and I have always thought that and will continue to think that for the rest of my life.

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.
Zach Condon
There is a beauty to touring - to be honest, there's a way that music connects and you really feel the actual reaction of people to the music that you're making, and I feel like if I didn't do that I just wouldn't know, and I don't think my music would be the same.

In the age of the mp3, you gotta make the package special, something that's worth owning.

I fell off a bridge when I was 14, then had surgery when I was 17. Now my left wrist is an inch-and-a-half shorter than my [right one] and doesn't quite have the mobility to wrap around a guitar neck without a bit of pain.

I'm writing songs about New York. A lot of them carry the names of neighborhoods in Long Island. Maspeth, Montauk. I'm getting into the idea of a F. Scott Fitzgerald-esque Long Island back when New York was...New York.

It feels much more natural to move forward and grow with the instruments I've grown accustomed to. Piano, accordion, brass, ukulele.

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.

I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.

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
In some ways, I feel like I've been such a dilettante for so many years, just picking up instruments and stretching myself so thin.
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.
