MUSIC VIDEO: Beirut – The Rip Tide

Brooklyn, NY rockers Beirut have released beautiful new video for their title track “The Rip Tide” and can be viewed by simply heading through the jump. This album was released last year through Pompeii Records.

The band’s own Zach Condon said this about director Houmam Abdallah’s work on “The Rip Tide,” according to Pitchfork.

“I always felt that “The Rip Tide” wasn’t fully able to project its own ambitions in song form.. no matter how it was performed or recorded, it felt contained by sound alone… I wanted more, as I often do with my music, and this is not a bad thing. Growing to accept a song’s limits is part of the process of creating and loving them. Which was why I was so excited to see what Houmam had dug into when he picked “The Rip Tide” out of all others for a video. The concept fit, and the product brought the song somewhere that I had only been able to describe to myself, now available for others to see and feel it much more as I had in the process of writing it.”
