Expert In A Dying Field Cassette Tape
On The Bethsâ new album Expert In A Dying Field, Elizabeth Stokesâ songwriting positions her somewhere between being a novelist and a documentarian. The songs collected here are autobiographical, but theyâre also character sketches of relationships and more importantly, their aftermaths. The question that hangs in the air: what do you do with how intimately versed youâve become in a person, once theyâre gone from your life? The third LP from the New Zealand quartet houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz. The albumâs title track âExpert In A Dying Fieldâ introduces the thesis for the record: âHow does it feel to be an expert in a dying field? How do you know itâs over when you canât let go?â Stokes asks. âLove is learned over time âtil youâre an expert in a dying field.â
