Beirut have unveiled another track from their upcoming album Gallipoli, and it arrives with an action-packed visual tale.
 
The new music video for "Landslide" was directed by Eoin Glaister, and it stars former Game of Thrones actor Ian Beattie.
 
The clip opens with Beattie, dressed in full knight attire, getting dragged across the desert ground by his horse.
 
When he's not being outwitted by his equine friend, Beattie's character engages in a jousting match, rescues a damsel in distress, and tries to outrun an enemy and his sword.
 
By the end of the video, though, we realize our knight's adventure was merely a figment of his imagination.
 
"Landslide" follows previously released single "Corfu." Watch the video below.

Gallipoli is due out February 1 via 4AD. As previously reported, Beirut have an upcoming North American tour scheduled in support of the new album. You can see all the dates here.
