Beirut Gallipoli (I)

4 stars out of 5 -- "It's tremendously beautiful music, and profoundly sad, but also full of hope, because sad beauty can do that."
"[S]umptuously romantic, restlessly inventive, emotionally generous and stylistically bold."
"Beirut's now-trademark sound has been sun-drenched this time around, chockablock with slinky brass and luminous hooks."
Paste (magazine) - "This is the kind of late era album that will likely appease the fans that have stuck with the band for a decade plus..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[F]or listeners who appreciate indie pop at its most wide-eyed, this record does just that....Well-produced and sweet to boot."
Clash (Magazine) - "[E]motionally driven, nuanced songs with a Balkan heart that transport you into a black and white memory."
