Celebrated Auckland indie rock outfit The Beths share a fresh reimagining of their beloved track “Metal” today, reworked by fellow New Zealand musician and producer Nik Brinkman.
Brinkman infuses Elizabeth Stokes's razor-sharp vocal melodies and the band's four-part harmonies with pulsating synth bass, crisp electro rhythms, and kaleidoscopic modulation. The remix honors the emotional core of the original guitar anthem while reframing it for late-night dance floors.
The collaboration offers an inspired addition to the band's catalog and showcases how inventive Kiwi artists continue expanding contemporary indie pop and indie rock.
