New Zealand indie rock heroes, The Beths, return with a catchy instant-classic.

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.
