Song Of The Day: The Beths – Dying To Believe

It’s important these days to cling to whatever it is that might bring a little joy to your day. And since the release of their debut album Future Me Hates Me back in August of 2018, The Beths have brought me a fair bit of joy with their music.

The New Zealand based four piece write songs that could best be described (as I did in our coverage of the band for SXSW 2019) as “feel good jams about feeling bad.” The band’s blend of poppy, upbeat melodies with more introspective lyrics is a winning combo, and one which has kept me coming back for more – at last year’s SXSW, I caught the band live on three separate occasions and would have gladly seen them even more over the course of the week if given the chance.

Future Me Hates Me has definitely been one of my most listened to albums of the last couple of years, so to hear that The Beths have a new album on the horizon was very welcome news. That album, Jump Rope Gazers, is out July 10 on Carpark Records. Check out the video for lead single “Dying To Believe” below.
