Gallipoli, the Italian town where Zach Condon wrote the song, gave its name to both the track and Beirut's fifth album, which 4AD released on February 1, 2019, with "Gallipoli" among its singles. Condon sings it and plays trumpet, Moog and percussion, Paul Collins plays bass and joins him on Farfisa, and Nick Petree adds more percussion.
The album brings back Condon's old Farfisa organ from Santa Fe, the one heard on The Flying Club Cup and Gulag Orkestar. He began work in late 2016, moved the sessions between New York City, Apulia and Berlin, where he lives, and produced the album with Gabe Wax, who had also produced No No No. Berlin's experimental electronic scene seeps in too, along with a debt to Mouse on Mars.
