Beirut unveiled the release date for its new album this week, along with a list of dates spanning June through November. Label 4AD calls “No No No” Zach Condon & Co.’s “most vibrant and spirited record to date.”

No No No, which is due out Sept. 11, was recorded over a two-week period during one of the coldest and snowiest New York winters in history.

Beiut decided to mix up the writing process with its fourth studio album rather than having Condon compose mostly on his own, with the help of ProTools.

4AD says, “This time around, the songs were constructed live, in the moment, by the band, and are more concert-ready than ever as a result. The band was significantly stripped down: guitar, piano, bass, and drums formed the bulk of the arrangements as opposed to the more obscure instruments for which he was initially known.”
