A brilliantly rambunctious tune, I’m Not Getting Excited is the latest tune from riotously brilliant The Beths. It’s an urgent track about imposter syndrome, its frenetic pace and edgy riffs with driving guitar and a forceful melody. The official video was filmed during the first month of lockdown in New Zealand. It’s a spooky more-is-more collage of animated night terrors. The directors Sports Team ‘turned our laundry into a film studio and spent our inside time mastering the art of stop-motion animation. We animated old towels, all the cardboard in the house and The Beths themselves… frame by bloody frame. There’s a lot of scary imagery in the song that we wanted to play on. There’s a madness too, in the contradiction between what the song is about and its frenetic energy. It has defined the lockdown for us—being locked indoors but furiously busy.’ The track is taken from new album Jump Rope Gazers out 10 July 2020 on Carpark Records.
