Beirut is pleased to share with you the newvideo for "The Rip Tide," the title-track to their latest,critically acclaimed album. Premiered this morning onPitchfork,"The Rip Tide" video is a gorgeous journey that we urge to watchuntil the end. Zach Condon expounds on the song and the video:
"I always felt that 'The Rip Tide' wasn't fully able toproject its own ambitions in song form . . . no matter how it was performed orrecorded, it felt contained by sound alone. . . I wanted more, as I often dowith my music, and this is not a bad thing. Growing to accept a song'slimits is part of the process of creating and loving them. Which was why I wasso excited to see what Houmam had dug into when he picked 'The Rip Tide' out ofall others for a video.  The concept fit, and the product brought the songsomewhere that I had only been able to describe to myself, now available forothers to see and feel it much more as I had in the process of writingit."
