For those still yet to uncover the absolute delights that are New Zealand's The Beths, then do yourself the grandest of favours and nestle in for a listen of 2020's Jump Rope Gazers.

Though not decked out with the exact same sort of vibrancy and exuberance that made their eye-catching 2018 debut Future Me Hates Me such an unexpected joy, what their follow-up lacks in elation it more than makes up for with its denser and more calculating execution.

Further exposing the toxic reality of trying your damndest to hold onto someone who simply isn't right for you with Dying To Believe's still light and airy riffs and Do You Want Me Now's slower-paced study of a soul coming to terms with potentially being left behind both act as heart-breaking but deeply relatable offerings for those in need of some introspective soul food.

Again, it may not strike the same chord as their first hit, but this lesser acclaimed sophomore spin still comes equipped with a nostalgic look at summer nights spent without a care in the world in the titular track and the pain that can sometimes come from being there for one who likely doesn't deserve you in Out Of Sight.
