The Beths release 'Expert In A Dying Field', the title track from their highly anticipated third album, out September 16!
“How does it feel to be an expert in a dying field? How do you know it’s over when you can’t let go?” lead songwriter and vocalist Elizabeth Stokes asks, as she introduces her listener to the overarching theme of the record.
Of the track, Stokes explains: “In the course of knowing a person you accumulate so much information: their favourite movies, how they take their tea, how to make them laugh, how that makes you feel. And when relationships between people change, or end, all that knowledge doesn’t just disappear.” This notion is succinctly encapsulated in the song's chorus, “Love is learned over time ‘til you’re an expert in a dying field.”
The Beths are touring Aotearoa in September/October. You can get your tickets here!
