So how have the band members changed? Who left and who just got a haircut

well if you’re asking how they changed from the conception of the band, the answer is A LOT. However, if you’re referring to the lineup from the last tour to now, the only thing that has changed is that Perrin has left.

"this album came out of a very intense time. My bandmates knew I was suffering, they knew I was really struggling. Paul [Collins, bass] and Nick [Petree, drums] just kind of stepped-up and said we’re going to the studio every day no matter what, and we’re just going to have some fun with it and not make it a serious thing. Borne out of that it became a much freer thing.”

Why does the twitter bio of Beirut doesn't include Perrin Cloutier in its members? Do you know what happened? :(

ah, I have no idea. But if he’s not in the band anymore I am going to be VERY unhappy.

The follow-up to 2011's The Rip Tide was recorded last winter in Brooklyn by Condon, bassist Paul Collins, and drummer Nick Petree. According to a press release, its creation followed a physical and mental breakdown Condon suffered in Australia in 2013, as well as a divorce. "I had completely broken down and my body was making me pay for it," Condon said in a statement. "For the first time in my life, I was facing extreme self doubt. I had hit rock bottom." But the start of a new relationship provided Condon with a new outlook on life. "Having a positive presence like her both provides a healthy guiding force and shines a light on all the negative things in your life," he said. "I definitely wouldn’t be where I am now without her."
