Can't stop, can't rewind

Tip the authorThe whole album is brilliant, have been listening to it over and over lately. But this really stands out - it's the title track from Kiwi indie gems The Beths' new album Expert in a Dying Field. If not for that Fontaines DC Drake cover, this would have a real shout for my song of the year. But the whole album's terrific, so listen to the lot and thank me later. I was going to try to say who it sounds like ... but it just sounds like The Beths. Enjoy.

  2. Love The Beths. But they've just committed the cardinal sin. Release an album, have the fans rush out and buy it, then less than 12 months later, put out a Deluxe edition with lots of extra material and get the fans who already bought it once to go out and buy it again. Pretty poor show. I certainly won't be shelling out for it again. The deluxe edition should be put out for the fans first. That is, if they care about the fans at all.

    1. I thought the same! And coincidentally I heard Crash on the radio twice in two days at the weekend.
