THE BETHS
release new video for
‘LITTLE DEATH’
+ announce world tour

“The debut from Auckland indie rockers is just really impressive—hook-filled songs filled with energy and attitude, written with depth and played masterfully.” – PITCHFORK
“A wonderful little record that never lets up, piling on unassumingly buzzy fun until you start realizing you might be in the presence of a true power-pop monument.” – ROLLING STONE US
“Few bands make angst sound as joyous as The Beths do on their debut LP.” – BANDCAMP DAILY

While their amps are still cooling off from blowing away crowds at Brisbane BIGSOUND 2018, New Zealand’s newest indie rock stars The Beths are still conquering the globe with music from their incredible debut album, Future Me Hates Me, and today are premiering yet another wonderful new video, this time for the song ‘Little Death’, over at NPR.
.
. . . . . . .The Beths’ mastermind Elizabeth Stokes says of the video:
“We made this video while we were on tour. The director Norwood Cheek hit us up saying, ‘I made videos for Superchunk in the ’90s, let me make a Super 8 video for you guys when you’re in LA.’ So we spent a day larking about and scratching on film and then he edited it up. It’s difficult to tell, but if you look closely you can see there is some green screen footage and special effects added afterwards.” – ELIZABETH STOKES
The video follows in the footsteps of the other brilliant clips they’ve released for previous singles ‘You Wouldn’t Like Me’, ‘Happy Unhappy’, ‘Great No One’ , and ‘Future Me Hates Me’ – all colourful, quirky and different, but all equally contributing to the band’s ever-growing, infinitely-charming oeuvre.
The video release also comes with the announcement that they’ll be headed on a world tour after finishing their final Australian dates of this current tour in Melbourne this weekend. These shows will see them return to the U.S. at the end of September and play many cities for the first time ever, they will then head to Europe through mid-November with even more dates yet to be announced!
