Info for Future Me Hates Me
Tolles Gitarrenpop-Debüt aus Auckland, das Alternative-Fans nicht verpassen sollten. Die Mitglieder der vierköpfigen Gitarrenpop-Band The Beths aus Auckland sind schon lange befreundet. Umso besser, dass sie auch zusammen Musik machen. Denn der treibende, sonnendurchflutete und harmonische, stark an Alternative Rock der Neunziger erinnernde Sound, den das Quartett auf seinem Debütalbum "Future Me Hates Me" erschaffen hat, klingt einfach wunderschön - obwohl die bissigen, tief traurigen und aufrichtigen Texte alles andere als leicht runtergehen und in einem deutlichen Kontrast zu den sonst so einnehmenden Klängen stehen. Angeführt wird die neuseeländische Formation von der Leadsängerin und Songschreiberin Elizabeth Stokes. Sie hat nicht nur wie ihre Mitstreiter einen universitären Jazz-Abschluss, sondern in Aucklands reichhaltiger Musikszene schon verschiedenen Outfits ihren Stempel aufgedrückt, zuletzt einer Folkband. Dennoch sieht sie die Mitwirkung bei den Beths als große Herausforderung an: "Fronting this kind of band was a new experience for me", so Stokes. "I never thought I had the right voice for it." Hat sie, und das macht "Future Me Hates Me" zu einem Debüt, das man nicht verpassen sollte.
The Beths
The Beths
New Zealand four-piece The Beths channel their longtime friendship into high-energy guitar pop with a smart lyrical bite. Guitarist, lead vocalist, and primary songwriter Elizabeth Stokes and guitarist Jonathan Pearce attended high school together before meeting up with longtime mates bassist Benjamin Sinclair and drummer Ivan Luketina-Johnston at the University of Auckland, where all four studied jazz. After gigging together in a variety of configurations, the quartet came together for a project exploring the pop and rock sounds of their youth. Everything clicked, and The Beths were born.
Their debut EP, 2016's Warm Blood, overflows with explosive guitar riffs and infectious indie-rock hooks. Produced by Pearce and featuring all four members on joyful vocal harmonies that recall the best '60s pop, tracks like ace lead single "Whatever" and impossibly catchy standout "Idea/Intent" earned the all-killer, no-filler release rave reviews from the New Zealand music press.
2018 promises to be a breakout year for The Beths. A beloved live act across Australia and New Zealand, the band will tour the U.S. and Europe as the Carpark re-release of Warm Blood gets audiences beyond the bottom of the Pacific Ocean hooked on their ebullient sounds. Their freshman album, Future Me Hates Me, also produced by Pearce, arrives later this year; fans of artists like Sleater-Kinney and Best Coast should remain on high alert for the first full-length from their new favorite band.
This album contains no booklet.
