New Zealand's The Beths deliver their most expansive and introspective work yet with Straight Line Was a Lie, their first release for Anti- Records in 2025. Recorded between Moureeses Bay and Jonathan's Karangahape Road Studio, this fourth album sees the talented quartet moving beyond their earlier lovelorn angst to explore deeper existential themes while maintaining their signature power-pop sound.
Across ten remarkable songs, the band showcases their widest spectrum of styles yet, balancing bright, fun-loving surfaces with sly and emotional depths underneath. This indie exclusive blue vinyl edition includes premium packaging with a printed inner sleeve and fold-out insert, making it a must-have for collectors who appreciate The Beths' philosophy that nothing in life is straightforward—a sentiment that perfectly captures the album's exploration of impermanence, loss, and life's mysterious ways.
