Hailing from Astoria, New York City, indietronica/alt-pop group Beecher’s Fault unveiled their latest upbeat track, “So Be It.”
Located at the corner of folk rock and synth pop, the project serves as a creative outlet for songwriter, producer, and founder Ben James, who pushes the limit of their sound and continues to blur the concept of genre, all of which is evident in the new single.
Though the tune encourages the listener to get up and dance, the narrative shares a more argumentative tone. The band revealed that “So Be It” was inspired by an encounter on the subway, a fight between two brothers romantically involved with the same woman, with one accusing the other of encouraging her to steal his money. Secretly recorded by the band, the story and concept demo remained unfinished for years before surfacing this September.
Beecher’s Fault shared on social media:
“I played the song for my wife (girlfriend at the time) and then it just sat on my hard drive unfinished for several years. However, every time something annoying but unavoidable happened or things didn’t quite work out as planned my wife would hum the melody and then shrug and say ‘So Be It’. She’d often then go on to say something along the lines of ‘that song is a banger you should finish it and release it.’ Well, finally years later here it is. So be it.”
“So Be It” is a bright track that belongs on a playlist of electronic-meets-indie favorites, reminiscent of the work of electronic musician Robert DeLong and his hit single, “Long Way Down,” and the discography of alternative project Big Data.
“So Be It” is available on most streaming platforms.
