Beirut’s New Video is Garbage

beirut

Beirut is back after a four year hiatus and dropped a new music video today ahead of their upcoming album No No No to be released September 11. The video, for the opening track “Gibraltar”, depicts the band wandering along a bleak beach environment laden with trash. The gray tone of the video’s setting juxtaposes against the relatively upbeat music to create a eerily clam mood and fit the band’s persona . It is effective and delightful. Beirut will go on tour to support their new album and play in Boston November 7th.
