LP
Mom + Pop – MP333 (2018) US
The first track off the album, "I Was A Fool", has gained over a million streams and received press praise from The New York Times, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, MTV, NPR and more. The follow-up track, "Crisis Fest" is a call to millennial arms, melding pop shimmer and drive with the personal and political. 'Twentytwo' is only one example of a gentler side of Sunflower Bean that's on display on the new album.
While the trio remains a guitar band at its core, new and different textures shine on this new album. Sunflower Bean's diverse sound has allowed them to tour alongside DIIV, Best Coast, Pixes and Wolf Alice. Their 2018 is filled with headline shows, festivals and a tour with Sleigh Bells. The New York times named them 'Spirited interpreters of rock 'n' roll's eternal truths, the three early-20s New Yorkers who make up Sunflower Bean are equally adept at studio finesse (witness their recent single "I Was a Fool") and raucous live noise.
