The Beths make us feel nice and fuzzy inside, it's a special kind of thing when a jangly indie band manages to have that magic.

New Zealand indie rock heroes The Beths latest album Straight Line Was A
Lie is a catchy, instant classic out on August 29th
Written in Los Angeles and self- recorded in the band's hometown of Auckland,
Straight Line Was A Lie (their first release for ANTI-) follows 2022's critically
celebrated LP Expert in A Dying Field. Lead singer and songwriter Liz Stokes delves
deeper into her psyche to address everything from roundabout progress to physical
and mental health challenges, and fraught family dynamics. Inspired by The Go-Go's,
Olivia Rodrigo, filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, and Stephen King's On Writing, amongst
others, Stokes' songwriting has achieved startling new depths of insight and
vulnerability.
Fans will agree that Straight Line Was A Lie is the most sharply observant, truthful,
and poetic Beths project to date.
