Expert in a Dying Field, the third album from Auckland indie rockers the Beths, came out on Carpark Records on 16 September 2022, following Future Me Hates Me and Jump Rope Gazers. The lineup is the one that met at the University of Auckland: Elizabeth Stokes singing, Jonathan Pearce on guitar, Benjamin Sinclair on bass and Tristan Deck on drums.
It's the sound of a band at full confidence: fizzing, tightly wound guitar pop, big stacked harmonies and choruses you can shout right along to. The title track and "Silence Is Golden" are where to start. The sleeve features a haku, a kingfish, and a deluxe edition arrived in 2023 with demos, acoustic takes and a couple of stand-alone singles tacked on.
