I don't seek what 4 00:00:17,293 --> 00:00:24,413 Speaker 2: you seek, but I never take get away? 5 00:00:24,653 --> 00:00:26,413 Speaker 1: Mother, pray for me? 6 00:00:30,733 --> 00:00:34,493 Speaker 2: Mother, Will you talk. 7 00:00:34,813 --> 00:00:35,093 Speaker 1: To me? 8 00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:40,973 Speaker 2: I don't know the time. 9 00:00:43,133 --> 00:00:48,333 Speaker 3: In which you dream. 10 00:00:48,333 --> 00:00:55,893 Speaker 2: Somewhere in the middle, there's a pigeon that we speak. 11 00:00:56,573 --> 00:00:59,493 Speaker 1: But it is said enough, don't give up. 12 00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:04,333 Speaker 2: Mother, Pray for me. That is Mother, Pray for Me 13 00:01:04,413 --> 00:01:07,413 Speaker 2: by the Bests. The new album is Straight Line was 14 00:01:07,413 --> 00:01:10,413 Speaker 2: a Lietle Cliffe's our music viewers. She's been listening to 15 00:01:10,453 --> 00:01:11,133 Speaker 2: it and she's with us. 16 00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:14,173 Speaker 3: Now, Hey, oh my name, what a great song to 17 00:01:14,213 --> 00:01:16,693 Speaker 3: start on. It's not the whole album. No, it's not 18 00:01:16,733 --> 00:01:19,693 Speaker 3: the whole album. It's just a very emotional take on 19 00:01:21,573 --> 00:01:24,413 Speaker 3: Liz talking about the relationship that she has with her 20 00:01:24,453 --> 00:01:27,093 Speaker 3: mother or the part that she wants to work on 21 00:01:27,213 --> 00:01:29,773 Speaker 3: with her mom. I'm like, this was actually a bit 22 00:01:29,813 --> 00:01:31,333 Speaker 3: of a tear release for me. When I heard this 23 00:01:31,453 --> 00:01:33,893 Speaker 3: song the first time, I was like, how beautiful because 24 00:01:34,413 --> 00:01:37,693 Speaker 3: she's actually talked to about how during making this album 25 00:01:37,893 --> 00:01:41,013 Speaker 3: she struggled to do some songwriting right, she's finding it hard. 26 00:01:41,373 --> 00:01:42,733 Speaker 3: And then you hear this song and you're like, that 27 00:01:42,933 --> 00:01:48,013 Speaker 3: is heart on sleeves, full, vulnerable, just really going somewhere. 28 00:01:48,653 --> 00:01:50,453 Speaker 3: So to know that she had had to go to 29 00:01:50,493 --> 00:01:52,693 Speaker 3: a place to like really create the songs for this album, 30 00:01:52,773 --> 00:01:56,133 Speaker 3: you're like, really, because this is so beautiful and just's 31 00:01:56,213 --> 00:01:58,733 Speaker 3: a really amazing emotional place to take people on an 32 00:01:58,733 --> 00:02:00,733 Speaker 3: album that. I mean, for the most part, they're very 33 00:02:00,773 --> 00:02:03,253 Speaker 3: indie rock, aren't they. And there's big guitars and there's 34 00:02:03,333 --> 00:02:07,773 Speaker 3: big percussion, but this song here just that subtle strip 35 00:02:07,813 --> 00:02:10,493 Speaker 3: back easy. It could be acoustic as well. They actually 36 00:02:10,493 --> 00:02:13,133 Speaker 3: had a full band version, like they worked it all 37 00:02:13,173 --> 00:02:16,213 Speaker 3: out for the song, but then decided and I think 38 00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:18,493 Speaker 3: very smartly, just to take it all back. 39 00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:18,813 Speaker 2: Yeah. 40 00:02:18,853 --> 00:02:20,733 Speaker 3: And did it be about her vocal sitting over it 41 00:02:20,733 --> 00:02:24,093 Speaker 3: because it's a nice little ride. Absolutely yeah. And I 42 00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:26,733 Speaker 3: think you don't need all of that on a whole album. 43 00:02:26,973 --> 00:02:29,413 Speaker 3: I think what the beats are really good at is 44 00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:33,013 Speaker 3: they do really touch down on some sometimes dark content, 45 00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:36,133 Speaker 3: whether it's emotional or the view of the world or 46 00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:38,493 Speaker 3: something that's happened to them. But often it's with that 47 00:02:38,613 --> 00:02:43,053 Speaker 3: quite energetic, big drums, big guitar kind of way, you 48 00:02:43,093 --> 00:02:45,093 Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like end Lisz's voice always sits 49 00:02:45,133 --> 00:02:47,813 Speaker 3: kind of near the front. There's always catchy riffs. I 50 00:02:47,893 --> 00:02:51,213 Speaker 3: find a lot of their stuff really relatable, but you're 51 00:02:51,253 --> 00:02:52,973 Speaker 3: often taking along with the energy of it. So it 52 00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:55,653 Speaker 3: was kind of nice to have this more ballad style 53 00:02:56,613 --> 00:02:58,613 Speaker 3: just to hear that kind of float through the middle 54 00:02:58,653 --> 00:03:00,973 Speaker 3: of the album. Yeah, really really caught men. I thought 55 00:03:01,013 --> 00:03:02,973 Speaker 3: it was I thought it was really cool. I also 56 00:03:03,013 --> 00:03:05,973 Speaker 3: think it's really great to say. As musicians it doesn't 57 00:03:05,973 --> 00:03:08,293 Speaker 3: always easy. Sometimes you have to take a step back 58 00:03:08,613 --> 00:03:11,253 Speaker 3: on the processes of you've used before to song right, 59 00:03:11,933 --> 00:03:14,533 Speaker 3: try something a little bit different. But man, they've come 60 00:03:14,573 --> 00:03:17,733 Speaker 3: back with a really, really, a really great album because 61 00:03:17,733 --> 00:03:21,253 Speaker 3: of that, I think how refreshing. Also, check is it 62 00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:22,613 Speaker 3: to hear our Kiwi accent? 63 00:03:27,413 --> 00:03:30,253 Speaker 2: Remember when just started like right in the heart of 64 00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:35,093 Speaker 2: the kind of the pop punk like like don't aware 65 00:03:35,373 --> 00:03:39,693 Speaker 2: your chime mind me? Yeah, they turned and they just 66 00:03:39,773 --> 00:03:42,173 Speaker 2: came out and sung in Kiwi accents, and yeah it is. 67 00:03:42,253 --> 00:03:43,773 Speaker 2: It's lovely to hear it. 68 00:03:43,773 --> 00:03:45,813 Speaker 3: It may it be a bit of an inspiration for 69 00:03:45,853 --> 00:03:47,853 Speaker 3: other muse though, that you don't always have to change 70 00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:51,893 Speaker 3: your vowel sounds to be amized that it's actually Okaya. 71 00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:55,133 Speaker 2: Distinguishes you, especially when, like I mean, the Beasts have 72 00:03:55,173 --> 00:03:58,293 Speaker 2: had such international success and they probably. 73 00:03:57,973 --> 00:04:01,493 Speaker 3: Just I think so too, and so to really just 74 00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:04,253 Speaker 3: don't fall away from there. I just it's always so 75 00:04:04,373 --> 00:04:06,613 Speaker 3: refreshing because you don't hear it a lot, you know, 76 00:04:06,693 --> 00:04:09,333 Speaker 3: you really do hear more that americanized way that people 77 00:04:09,373 --> 00:04:11,453 Speaker 3: sing as well, which I think also sometimes just helps 78 00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:14,253 Speaker 3: with vocal things. But it's just really refreshing and nice 79 00:04:14,373 --> 00:04:16,493 Speaker 3: to hear. That is a great song on the album 80 00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:20,013 Speaker 3: called No Joy, which again is like this real honest 81 00:04:20,053 --> 00:04:24,373 Speaker 3: commentary on actually what burnout or some really troubled mental health. 82 00:04:24,413 --> 00:04:28,493 Speaker 3: Feels like like they've just captured it so so well, 83 00:04:29,693 --> 00:04:32,213 Speaker 3: and it's again that dark content, but this really catchy 84 00:04:32,293 --> 00:04:34,213 Speaker 3: rock song, and it takes you a little bit to 85 00:04:34,253 --> 00:04:38,453 Speaker 3: be like, hang on actually constantly repeating no Joy, no Joy, 86 00:04:38,573 --> 00:04:42,053 Speaker 3: no Joy. You're like, yeah, that's dark. Yeah, but I 87 00:04:42,173 --> 00:04:45,653 Speaker 3: just to capture again a feeling within a song is 88 00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:48,413 Speaker 3: a really medical thing for me. I think they've done 89 00:04:48,453 --> 00:04:51,093 Speaker 3: a really good job on there and then putting it 90 00:04:51,133 --> 00:04:56,013 Speaker 3: together and as you expects, like really great musicianship throughout it. 91 00:04:56,133 --> 00:04:58,213 Speaker 3: I love all the laying they've done, some of the 92 00:04:58,333 --> 00:05:02,133 Speaker 3: quirky harmonies and vocals that come in with the bridges 93 00:05:02,173 --> 00:05:05,173 Speaker 3: and into the choruses again, just really lots of cool 94 00:05:05,213 --> 00:05:10,573 Speaker 3: stuff to sit into and listen to. And yeah, I 95 00:05:10,813 --> 00:05:13,373 Speaker 3: don't know, I've every album. It means that they've grown 96 00:05:13,373 --> 00:05:15,733 Speaker 3: a little bit more a and and people are really 97 00:05:15,733 --> 00:05:17,853 Speaker 3: digging what they're doing. And I've really enjoyed this album. 98 00:05:17,933 --> 00:05:21,373 Speaker 3: They've got sold out shows in LA in New York, 99 00:05:22,053 --> 00:05:26,093 Speaker 3: they're doing a European tour and then I think coming 100 00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:28,053 Speaker 3: back for us if you miss them. They've also been 101 00:05:28,093 --> 00:05:31,693 Speaker 3: part of the Infinity Session yes, which was at the 102 00:05:31,773 --> 00:05:33,893 Speaker 3: Roundhead Studios and they actually teased a little bit of 103 00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:36,733 Speaker 3: this album which was quite cool. But their set was 104 00:05:36,773 --> 00:05:40,413 Speaker 3: great and a bit grungy, and those sessions are actually 105 00:05:40,493 --> 00:05:42,493 Speaker 3: up on YouTube as well, So if you missed anything, 106 00:05:42,933 --> 00:05:45,773 Speaker 3: plenty of opportunity to go back and sit in with 107 00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:47,373 Speaker 3: that before we start seeing them at some of our 108 00:05:47,773 --> 00:05:49,253 Speaker 3: when they come back and maybe do some shows for 109 00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:49,653 Speaker 3: us too. 110 00:05:49,733 --> 00:05:51,853 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, oh so good. So what did you give it? 111 00:05:51,853 --> 00:05:52,773 Speaker 2: What did you give? A straight line? 112 00:05:54,133 --> 00:05:55,893 Speaker 3: Straight line is a lie? Isn't there life? When you 113 00:05:55,893 --> 00:05:57,973 Speaker 3: think you're working on yourself and you've come back full circle? 114 00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:01,373 Speaker 3: I think our KP artists need all the support they 115 00:06:01,373 --> 00:06:03,213 Speaker 3: possibly can get. I love this album. I'm going to 116 00:06:03,213 --> 00:06:04,013 Speaker 3: give it a ten out of ten. 117 00:06:04,133 --> 00:06:06,653 Speaker 2: Right, so good a style. Yeah, I'm really looking forward 118 00:06:06,653 --> 00:06:08,773 Speaker 2: to having more of a listen to this. We'll play 119 00:06:08,773 --> 00:06:10,693 Speaker 2: another track in a couple of minutes. Thank you so much. 120 00:06:10,853 --> 00:06:13,053 Speaker 2: Have a great with enjoy. That is a stale Clifford 121 00:06:13,053 --> 00:06:15,493 Speaker 2: our music review straight line was a lie as the 122 00:06:15,533 --> 00:06:17,613 Speaker 2: brand new album from the Beasts. Like I say, we'll 123 00:06:17,653 --> 00:06:20,013 Speaker 2: pick out a good so maybe the title track and 124 00:06:20,093 --> 00:06:21,293 Speaker 2: play that for you in a few minutes. 125 00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:24,973 Speaker 1: Time For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen 126 00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:27,893 Speaker 1: live to News Talks ed B from nine am Saturday, 127 00:06:28,133 --> 00:06:30,173 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
