Show Notes
In Beirut’s 7th album, Zach Condon returns to a place he had no plans to ever go back to.
‘A Study of Losses’ was commissioned by the Swedish circus troupe Kompani Giraff, and at first he was hesitant to write a soundtrack for a circus, the idea a reminder of a time he’d been pigeonholed, as he says, “as a whimsical circus waif”.
However, videos of the troupe’s performances and an abstract of the work upon which the new project would be based changed his mind.
Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to give her thoughts on Beirut’s new album.
