Condon revealed that he’ll have a new album – his first since 2007 -- out “sometime this summer.” The as-yet-untitled set was recorded during this brutal past winter in upstate New York with frequent collaborator Griffin Rodriguez and the “core” crew of six to seven of Condon’s usual touring musicians. “It’s almost like I’m crystallizing the sound that I’ve come to adapt. I’ve been very centered on what the Beirut sound actually is, and what is my voice and melody and my sense of rhythm. It’s been about maturing,” he says. He concedes however, that he opted to track the set further north because “I can’t really work in Brooklyn. It’s too busy here. It was a total New Englander thing to pull.” He says it was a solitary retreat, to a house with a fireplace and a dog and the woods. “It’s horrible, I just fell into the footsteps of a number of clichés. By accident, I even ended up staying right next to the Woodstock festival grounds. I’m kicking myself,” he laughs.
