"No No No" is the title track of Beirut's fourth album, out on 4AD in 2015, and it finds Zach Condon handling nearly everything with keys or a mouthpiece: piano, Moog, Farfisa, Wurlitzer and trumpet, on top of singing it. Kyle Resnick adds a second trumpet and Ben Lanz a trombone, Paul Collins plays bass, and Nick Petree and Perrin Cloutier handle percussion and toms. Condon produced and mixed it with Gabe Wax.
Those horns are the Beirut signature, and here they bounce rather than mourn. Condon lost love and found it again while making the record, and that push and pull runs all through the album: bright melodies with a little heartache folded inside.
