Beths
Expert In A Dying Field
The Beths' third album, 'Expert In A Dying Field,' blends power-pop with skuzzy indie rock, delivering 12 tightly crafted, guitar-driven tracks. Elizabeth Stokes' songwriting walks the line between storytelling and self-examination, exploring the aftermath of relationships_romantic, platonic, and familial - while grappling with the knowledge left behind once someone is gone. Recorded mostly in Auckland, New Zealand, the album took shape during a national lockdown, with the band collaborating remotely before finalizing it on tour in the U.S. The title track sets the album's introspective tone, while songs like 'Silence Is Golden' showcase the band's sharp energy, and 'Your Side' leans into emotional sincerity. Amidst themes of uncertainty and self-doubt, 'Expert' finds joy in musical camaraderie, embracing imperfections with warmth and understanding. Repressed on silver vinyl that includes a 24x24 inch poster in a gatefold jacket.
