New Zealand rock quartet the Beths have announced another leg of their globe-trotting tour in support of forthcoming album Expert in a Dying Field. After detailing a North American summer 2022 tour that saw them plotting dates in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, the band will return to Canada once more in early 2023.
Having just performed at Toronto's Lee's Palace over the weekend, the band are already due to return to the city on the newly announced, headlining second leg. After stops in Portland, Chicago and more, they'll make their way back north of the border on February 26, 2023, this time for a show at the city's Phoenix Concert Theatre. The new run doesn't offer much in the way of any additional Canadian cities, but there are a number of northern US stops included along the way if you're really keen to catch them live stateside.
In addition to their new tour dates, the band have also shared a video for new single "Knees Deep," a "last-minute addition" to the album, according to a press release. The accompanying clip sees all four band members stumbling upon a flyer advertising free bungee jumps, each of them sneaking out of band practice to leap off a bridge at separate intervals and returning to rehearsal reinvigorated.
Singer Liz Stokes said of the track in a statement:
I'm the kind of person who wants to go swimming, but takes like ten minutes to get all the way into the cold water, slowly and painfully. I hate this about myself, and am kind of envious of people who can just jump straight in the deep end. In a shocking twist, this is also a metaphor?! For how I wish I was the kind of person who was brave and decisive instead of cautious and scared.
