    Employing church organs, baroque instrumentation, modern synths, brass, and ukulele, Condon delivers Beirut’s seventh album of an exhaustive, 18 tracks. .... The standouts are “Villa Sachetti” with its clavier-like finger-strumming over the best of Condon’s mournful lilt, the “Elephant Gun”-era echoes on jaunty “Tuanaki Atoll,” the hint of a love story folded into the slowburn, melancholy of “Caspian Tiger,” and the freshness of outlier “Guericke’s Unicorn.”

    A Study of Losses is not for the casual listener. It’s an impressive feat, not the least of which is Condon’s sophistication as a musician and composer. It’s both less and more than one might expect when considering the demands of Beirut’s commission. As a standalone entity, the album works quite well, but it really shines as an artistic statement.

    A Study of Losses has some of Condon’s most effortless songwriting in years, melodies flowing with the easy appeal of the best of Lon Gisland and Gulag Orkestar.
