I wasn’t really into Beirut until 2019’s Galipoli, which for me remains the high watermark of his career. But on the first few listens A Study Of Losses is going to give it a run for its money. Lots of wonderful, atmospheric highlights but Garbo’s Face is the standout so far. There’s something about a plaintive organ line that reduces me to a weepy mess.
