The Beths Share New Single “Watching the Credits,” Expand 2023 Tour Dates
The post The Beths Share New Single “Watching the Credits,” Expand 2023 Tour Dates appeared first on Consequence.
Just a few months after sharing their great album Expert in a Dying Field, The Beths are back with another new song called “Watching the Credits.” Along with the single, the Kiwi indie rockers have expanded their already-stacked 2023 tour, as well as released their NPR Tiny Desk Concert.
Recorded during the Expert in a Dying Field sessions, “Watching the Credits” was inspired by The Beths vocalist and songwriter Elizabeth Stokes’ own peculiar hobby of learning everything she can about a movie without actually watching the movie. In typical Beths fashion, it’s built from punchy and energetic guitar riffs that backdrop Stokes’ sharp lyrics: “I spend all night/ Cutting up edits/ Watching the credits to find direction/ In my existence,” she sings over sweeping harmonies, turning the idea of “main character energy” into something much more bleak.
During their visit to the Tiny Desk, The Beths — equipped with a clarinet and a teeny-tiny xylophone — performed newer highlights “Expert in a Dying Field” and “When You Know You Know,” as well as “Jump Rope Gazers” and “Out of Sight” from their 2020 album. Watch that and listen to “Watching the Credits” below.
The Beths begin their tour dates on May 24th in Bristol, England, before spending virtually the entire summer making stops across Europe and North America. Their schedule includes stops at Primavera Sound and Bonnaroo, as well as a handful of dates opening for The National and Death Cab for Cutie, before wrapping things up in October with a three-night residency at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg.
Pre-sale for The Beths’ new tour dates begins Wednesday, March 29th at 10:00 a.m. local time, with general sale following Friday the 31st at 10:00 a.m. local time; you can get yours at Ticketmaster.
