Beths, The – Straight Line Was A Lie

One of the greatest indie-rock bands of their time.” – Rolling Stone.  Will not argue that.  New Zealand indie rock heroes The Beths latest album Straight Line Was A Lie is 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.
