The Beta Band- Inner Meet Me

The Beta Band is a folk-electronic group from Scottland that formed in the mid 90's. The band is made up of vocals, guitars, drums, keyboard and synth. Their music has been critically acclaimed and they developed somewhat of a cult following but not until after the band called it quits due to their lack of success. The way there music mixes acoustic rock with synth and other genres was very experimental and ahead of its time.

This track is simultaneously tranquil and stimulating. It's the kind of easy listen that would be good for a calm mid-afternoon or a long car ride. The chorus line "Inner meet me, oh you can't decide" with a very dream-like mystery makes for a strong introduction.

 Not sure what Steve Mason was going for when he wrote the lyrics but "Inner Meet Me" makes me imagine this very funny physical introudction between two versious of my consciousness; my socialized external self and the truest version of my soul.

Sounds similar to: The Bees, Broken Social Scene Danger Mouse


Happy listening :)
