The Beths are proving that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is a cliche for a reason. The New Zealand-bred band released Expert In A Dying Field last September to widespread acclaim, including from Uproxx who called it “one of the best indie-rock records of 2022,” so it makes sense that they aren’t in a rush to move on from it.
On Wednesday, July 12, The Beths announced they will release Expert In A Dying Field (Deluxe) on September 15 and offered an acoustic version of “I Told You That I Was Afraid,” which The Beths teased on Instagram as arriving “in all its wobbly glory.”
“On Sep 15 we are releasing a Deluxe Version of Expert In A Dying Field,” The Beths also wrote within the same Instagram caption. “It’s a double LP! It includes ‘A Real Thing’ and ‘Watching The Credits,’ as well as demos and a solo acoustic recordings.”
