Today we have the title track from the 4th and most recent studio LP by indie gems THE BETHS 🇳🇿 entitled “Straight Line Is A Lie.”

This a 4 piece outfit from Auckland, 🇳🇿 the largest city in NEW ZEALAND. Along with Christchurch and Dunedin Auckland is one of three centres in this tiny country that has been one of the most prolific indie band incubators these past 45+ years- punching well above its weight.

[Ed. Note- hey rex- there is the germ of a future post or two in there.]

The LP was released just last Friday on the Anti label.

Here is the Sky Blue limited edition vinyl on the rex display turntable.

Here is the clever video. Enjoy as we grind through this first post-summer holiday work week.
