BEIRUT – Stream New Album ‘A STUDY OF LOSSES’
20 April 2025
American singer-songwriter Zach Condon‘s musical project BEIRUT
just released his 7th longplayer, named A STUDY OF LOSSES .
Press info: “The album originated in spring 2023, when Viktoria Dalborg, director at the Swedish circus Kompani Giraff, reached out to Condon, asking if he would be interested
to provide the music for their next project, a show based on an adaptation of a novel by German author Judith Schalansky.
The main themes in Schalansky‘s book and in the adaptation for the circus show deal with the concept of loss and the impermanence of everything known to us: from extinct animal species, lost architectural and literary treasures to more abstract concepts of loss through the process of aging.
A Study Of Losses, turned into a rather unexpected piece of music-at 18 songs and nearly an hour long, it is by far the largest album Beirut has ever done, and amongst some of their most beautiful work to date.”
Pitchfork: “For Zach Condon to write music for a troupe of acrobats might seem a little too on the nose, given his roots. But the results are the most effortless and surprising Beirut album in ages… A Study of Losses is an example of the peculiar magic that can happen under seemingly absurd circumstances.”
