Beirut release new video for "The Rip Tide"

Beirut's lovely LP The Rip Tide may be almost a year old, but its title track just got a fancy new video. Below we've got director Houmam Abdallah's interpretation of the string-laced song.

"I always felt that "The Rip Tide" wasn't fully able to project its own ambitions in song form," said Beirut leader Zach Condon. "Which was why I was so excited to see what Houmam had dug into when he picked "The Rip Tide" out of all others for a video. The concept fit, and the product brought the song somewhere that I had only been able to describe to myself, now available for others to see and feel it much more as I had in the process of writing it."
