We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single “Juliet” from Beta Trip via We Are Busy Bodies. Beta Trip, the new project from Toronto multi-instrumentalist Steve Lewin. You can listen to “Juliet” Here

The debut album, from Beta Trip, Superette, out September 26 on Having Fun, the rock imprint of We Are Busy Bodies.

The first single, “Juliet,” offers a high-energy introduction to Lewin’s matured sonic vision. Melodic, emotionally resonant, and firmly rooted in the atmospherics of Britpop and the grit of 90s alternative rock, “Juliet” kicks off a ten-track journey that bridges nostalgic textures with fresh perspective. It marks Lewin’s return to his roots under the Beta Trip moniker, drawing influence from Elbow, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam.

The vocal and melodic presentation on “Juliet” is drop dead perfect. Beta Trip, have a unique and powerful sound that needs to be heard.

Juliet” is a hook-heavy, propulsive alt-pop song that examines misguidance, both in others and in oneself, while leaning into themes of growth, perspective, and closure. With layered guitars, rich harmonies, and a melodic sensibility that balances grit and shimmer, the track brings a catchy collision of melody and drive. Though it carries the appearance of simplicity, “Juliet” was crafted over many years, performed for audiences across the world in varied ideations, but never recorded, until now. It finally came together amidst the reflection and recalibration that sparked Beta Trip, and in doing so, not only found its way onto Superette, but easily claimed itself as the lead single. The result sets the tone for an album that fuses introspection with anthemic energy.

Steve Lewin, artfully uses Beta Trip, as a spectacular musical outlet, and this is front and center on “Juliet”
