Errortype:11 offshoot Beinn & Coalesce offshoot Idle Heirs share new songs, playing NYC together

Beinn is a new band led by Arty Shepherd (Mind Over Matter, Errortype:11, etc), and their upcoming debut album Perpetual Archetecture has Small Brown Bike‘s Jeff Gensterblum on drums. Live, the band will have Chris Enriquez of On the Might of Princes/Spotlights on drums, and the album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Spotlights’ Mario Quintero. Bassist Eric Adams (of Adam’s Castle) rounds out the band’s lineup.

Arty, Jeff, and Eric recorded the album after just two practices, which Arty says was “something I have always wanted to do. The raw energy of that first time you play a song in the practice space can never be duplicated, it’s always the best version, but I wanted to get as close as possible, and I think we did.”

Speaking further about the album, Arty says, “Passions of Great Misfortune, the title says it all. We were told to follow our passions, do something you love, but this is just not reality. Especially in NYC. The walls are high, the road blocks are everywhere and in modern society, very little is based on merit. Manipulation of social media algorithm’s is not something I could’ve projected when I started releasing records but, here it is. You can now make music in your house with no knowledge of how to play an instrument. Get off my lawn! Thing is, the passion never dissipates no matter how hard it is to cut through all the noise.”

The album’s first single is “Passions of Great Misfortune,” a heavy, shoegazy alt-rock song that channels Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins through the post-hardcore grit that the members of Beinn are best known for. It comes with a lyric video that premieres in this post.

Beinn’s next live show is opening for Coalesce offshoot Idle Heirs at Ridgewood, Queens’ TV Eye on February 8, alongside Memory Entry, and Idle Heirs also just announced their debut LP today. Titled Life Is Violence, it comes out on April 11 via Relapse, and the nearly-seven-minute lead single “Rare Bird” is out now. Idle Heirs is a collaboration between Coalesce vocalist Sean Ingram and producer Josh Barber (who’s worked with Norma Jean, The Casket Lottery, and others), and “Rare Bird” finds them diving into towering, sludgy post-metal. It’s a powerful first taste, and it comes with a Christopher Commons-created video that you can check out below.

Idle Heirs also play Philly’s Subterranean Dissonance Fest right before the NYC show, with Thou, Krallice, Young Widows, Scarcity, and more joining them on day one (2/7). The following day has sets from Deadguy, Secret Chiefs 3, Agriculture, Pyrrhon, Dysrhythmia, The Silver, and more.
