New Mexico native Zach Condon and his recently expanded roster of Beirut co-conspirers will unleash the first full-length album by the band since 2007's The Flying Club Cup on August 29th with new LP The Rip Tide. The album will be released through Condon's own Pompeii Records, notable for its complete lack of major label affiliation. The LP promises to be a "dramatic and intimate shift" from both The Flying Club Cup and 2009's stopgap EP March of the Zapotec. The full track listing is as follows:

'A Candle's Fire'
'Santa Fe'
'East Harlem'
'Goshen'
'Payne's Bay'
'The Rip Tide'
'Vagabond'
'The Peacock'
'Port of Call'
