After recurring health issues, including throat problems, forced him to cancel large portions of tours in support of 2019's Gallipoli, Beirut's Zach Condon headed to a cabin in Hadsel, in northern Norway, to rest and recuperate. In a part of the world with mountain views and northern lights but where the sun never rises above the horizon in winter (this was in early 2020), he took with him recording equipment including a borrowed pump organ, two rigs of modular synthesizers, an old tape machine, and his trumpet, among a handful of other gear. Condon soon also gained access to an early-19th century church organ, thanks to an invitation from a local resident. The isolation he experienced during his two months there continued upon his return to his apartment in Berlin, where pandemic mitigations were underway, so he worked on fleshing out his Norway recordings with additional instruments, including his baritone ukulele, various percussion, and a French horn. The organs, uke, and synths feature heavily in the sound of the completed Hadsel, his sixth album under the Beirut banner and one that takes the project back to its solitary, D.I.Y. origins. It's a record that also captures struggles with mental health, with songs like the bittersweet, swaying "So Many Plans" occupying the emotional territory between despair and acceptance.
