"Landslide" was one of three singles that carried Gallipoli, Beirut's fifth studio album, released by 4AD on February 1, 2019. Zach Condon wrote it and produced it with Gabe Wax, who had also produced 2015's No No No, and he's close to a one-man orchestra here: vocals, trumpet, piano, Moog, percussion and Farfisa, that last being the old organ from Santa Fe he'd used on Gulag Orkestar and The Flying Club Cup. Paul Collins covers bass and baritone guitar, and Nick Petree plays drums.
The album's sessions began in late 2016 and hopscotched from New York City to Apulia in Italy to Berlin, where Condon lives and where he'd been soaking up the city's experimental electronic scene. What came out is a looping, bubbling, restless record that takes its cues from the electronic duo Mouse on Mars.
