Today I stumbled across (via the YouTube algorithm, I think) a song I immediately loved. The song is called Expert In A Dying Field by a band called The Beths.
My preferred musical formula: heavy + melodic. While I wouldn’t call their music ‘heavy’, they combine fuzzy guitars with sweet melodies, which does the trick.
The jumping in-and-out of falsetto reminds me of Regina Spektor, the lyrical style reminds of me Kathleen Edwards (bonus recommendation: Change The Sheets), and the fuzzy buzzing guitars remind me of, me!
Kathleen Edwards’ Wikipedia page: “Her musical sound has been compared to Suzanne Vega meets Neil Young.”
Seem accurate.
