Beirut has just released their new album, The Rip Tide, on Zach Condon’s very own Pompeii Records. In support of this new album, Condon commissioned Sunset Television to create a video for album track, “Santa Fe.” A longtime fan of their work, Condon says “Sunset Television has filled a comedy void for me for the last couple years. To me it’s a group of filmmakers tastefully making fun of their own craft, with references everybody else wears like a badge of honor. I’m honored they would take me under their wing for a video.” Check out their work with the video for “Santa Fe” below.
