Indie Rock Band's 4th Studio Album on Indie Exclusive Blue Sky Vinyl LP!
Featuring "Metal" & "No Joy"!
New Zealand indie rock heroes The Beths' 2025 album Straight Line Was a Lie is a catchy, instant classic. 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.
One of the greatest indie-rock bands of their time.
The Beths are an underappreciated gem. The Auckland quartet consistently deliver bright, hooky power pop that's razor-sharp but deeply felt.
