It’s been a while since we’ve heard new music from Beirut, but Zachary Condon is back just in time for the season with a new single and some not-so-summery cover art. The cover may be inappropriate for a summer release, but the song is perfect for sangria sipping on roofs, balconies, lawns, fields, parking lots, or wherever you do summer. Ukulele, horns, piano! Beirut back!

This has got to be the coolest album art I’ve seen on this site. And honestly it doesn’t fit with the song it all its just the sweetest photo and I can’t stop looking at it.
The central dog (who I call Captain Beirut) looks like he’s saying to himself: “I see a wintry beast that is sure to be the end of us, but I must swallow this knowledge because there is greater honor in fighting and dying together.” There’s fear, sadness, and pride in his eyes and all the other dogs totally respect him (bottom right dog doesn’t really have a choice because he’s retarded).
