The Beths - "Out of Sight"

It's no secret that we're huge fan of The Beths here at If It's Too Loud... They play a modern 90's infested version of alt-power pop that hits just about everything we need out of music. Their latest single, "Out of Sight," is especially a delight. Sure, it has what we want out of a song from The Beths. Plenty of fuzzed out guitars, almost unbearably catchy, and lyrics bordering on too personal. But one unexpected aspect of "Out of Sight" is how gorgeous it is, which is something rarely said of songs that aren't ballads. 

Elizabeth Stokes says of the song: The band playing on ‘Out Of Sight’ is more fragile than we usually allow ourselves to be. We are trying to listen more deeply and be more open ended, it was confronting to do and sometimes even frustrating. But it came out great, Ben’s bass playing especially is beautifully melodic and gives the song a unique texture."
