{"product_id":"expert_in_a_dying_field","title":"Expert In A Dying Field","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Beths’ Expert in a Dying Field is a 2022 indie rock and power-pop album from the New Zealand quartet, and it captures the band at their most polished and emotionally precise. Built around Elizabeth Stokes’ bright vocals and sharp songwriting, the album pairs jangly guitars, fuzzy bursts of energy, tight rhythms, and stacked harmonies with lyrics that often examine relationships after they have already begun to fall apart. It is catchy and buoyant on the surface, but underneath the hooks is a strong sense of anxiety, regret, and emotional inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSongs like “Expert in a Dying Field,” “Knees Deep,” “Silence Is Golden,” “Your Side,” “When You Know You Know,” and “2am” balance sweetness with unease, turning breakup aftermaths and personal doubt into brisk, melodic guitar pop. The album’s central idea is the strange expertise that comes from knowing someone deeply after that relationship has ended, leaving behind knowledge that no longer has a place to go. Expert in a Dying Field is both lively and wounded, a record where sparkling choruses and clever arrangements make heartbreak feel immediate, thoughtful, and unexpectedly energizing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - \"Head In The Clouds\" Blue Eco-Mix Vinyl","offer_id":53440081953082,"sku":"37995","price":40.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-11_at_4.06.12_PM_c316fe9b-9ae6-4d29-a523-8ab880bd097c.jpeg?v=1780473664","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/expert_in_a_dying_field","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
