We’ve now heard four songs from the as-yet-untitled upcoming album.
Last week we posted two live videos from Beirut’s show in Virginia where the group debuted two new songs off their upcoming album — “Santa Fe” and “Port of Call” (though the name was unknown at the time). While playing in New Jersey, Zach Condon and company played two more brand new tracks, “Vagabond” and “Goshen.”
The new record is supposed to come out sometime this summer, but no other details are known. As of now no title, release date or track list have been revealed. But from the four songs that we’ve heard so far, it looks like it’ll be a good release.
Beirut is on tour all summer, with festival stops at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Northside and Outside Lands. Full dates are below.
