Beirut - A Study of LossesLtd Blue Vinyl A Study Of Losses is the seventh studio album from Beirut, the musical project of Zach Condon. The project originated in spring 2023, when Viktoria Dalborg, director at the Swedish circus Kompani Giraff, reached out to Condon, asking if he would be interested to provide the music for their next project, a show based on an adaptation of a novel by German author Judith Schalansky. The main themes in Schalansky's book and in the adaptation

layering a dense miasma of distortion with intense beats

The title (and opening track) It Is What It Is launches with a pummeling drum beat

20 in UK Singles Chart

inviting the audience to set an intention for each track

and lyrics inspired by real-life horrors such as war

The soundtrack for the hit TV show 'Around the World In 80 Days'

a string of super cool singles: ‘Big Gay Heart’

a quaint hamlet on the New York / Pennsylvania border

and the wispy bits between are spun from iridescent gossamer

and it’s lush
