The Beths - Straight Line Was A Lie
Written in Los Angeles and self- recorded in the band's hometown of Auckland,
Straight Line Was A Lie (their frst 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, flmmaker Akira Kurosawa, and Stephen King's On Writing, amongst
others, Stokes' songwriting has achieved startling new depths of insight and
vulnerability.
