The Beths: new single, new album, new tour dates

Posted in Records on August 3, 2025

The Beths have shared the new song , "Mother, Pray For Me” from their ANTI- debutStraight Line Was A Lie, out on August 29.

The album's release will be followed by an international tour.

“[The single is] not really about my mother, it's about me -- what I hope our relationship is, what I think it is, what it maybe actually is, and what I can or can't expect out of it," explains vocalist/guitarist Elizabeth Stokes.

“My mother is a first gen Indonesian immigrant, and very Catholic. I was born in Jakarta and we moved to Auckland when I was four. I think this song is me trying to understand my relationship with my mum, and her relationship to her faith and with her own mother. It was hard to write. We came up with a full band arrangement for the song, but in the end it seemed to feel the clearest with just me and the guitar. And a bit of organ.”
