Beirut Present ‘Gibraltar’ Video

New London Show Added

New Album No No No Out September 11

Premiered today on Lauren Laverne’s 6Music radio show, Beirut have presented a new song, ‘Gibraltar’, the opening track from their forthcoming album No No No.

Beirut – ‘Gibraltar’
Directed by Brother Willis

Watch ‘Gibraltar’ below:

Joining forces once more with Brother Willis (makers of the kaleidoscopic video for recent single ‘No No No’), and interested by the idea of a setting by the sea and “the massive island of trash that is growing and floating out in the Pacific,” ‘Gibraltar’ follows Beirut leader Zach Condon and band members Paul Collins and Nick Petree picking their way through a fantasy Gibraltar to meet its ‘Rock’. The landscape – eerily abandoned and filled with detritus – is a world away from its real-life European namesake.

Last week, Beirut were the musical guests on Late Night with Seth Meyers where the six-piece played ‘No No No’ for the first time. Watch the performance in full below:
