The Beths have shared the title track of their imminent album.
The bright, hooky opener for 'Straight Line Was A Lie', due out through ANTI- this Friday (August 29), serves up their signature melodic, jangly power-pop with rich vocal harmonies and a sing-along chorus.
The New Zealand four-piece have already teased the follow-up to 2022's 'Expert In A Dying Field' with the July single Mother, Pray For Me, as well as the previously unveiled cuts No Joy and Metal.
The quartet will celebrate the LP with UK, European and North American tour dates between mid-September and mid-December. Tickets are on sale now.
