Warm Blood

The Beths' "Warm Blood" is a strong contender for the catchiest record you've never heard. Formed when four jazz students at the University of Auckland bonded over their shared love of the pop-punk sounds of their youth, The Beths bring new energy to the genre. This 5-song debut EP is a deliriously pleasurable statement of purpose, packed with enough blissful hooks to carry through most bands' careers. With impeccable production from guitarist Jonathan Pearce and stellar musicianship across the board, "Warm Blood" is a non-stop delight. Tracks like the leadoff track and first single "Whatever," the ridiculously addictive standout "Idea/Intent," and "Rush Hour 3," a playful ode to romance in this era of download-and-chill franchise films, revel in the challenge of infusing new energy into the constraints of the 3-minute pop song. The vinyl comes with a download card housed in a single sleeve. Tracklist: 1. Whatever 2. Warm Blood 3. Idea/Intent 4. Rush Hour 3 5. Lying in the Sun.
