Song of the Day 12/6: The Beths, “Expert in a Dying Field”
El Somnambulo featured a song from this New Zealand indie band’s latest album in his Best of the Month roundup when it arrived in August. Critics have categorized them as power pop because their songs have strong hooks, but they’ve also compared Liz Stokes’ vocals and songwriting to Aimee Mann’s. The title track from the new LP is about a failed relationship, but the title applies to just about every field these days.
The Beth’s are in heavy rotation on my music streaming apps.
