Sunflower Bean have announced new album Mortal Primetime which will be out April 25 via Lucky Number. The band produced the album themselves with mixing by Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, Wet Leg).
The first single off the album is big riff rocker “Champagne Taste.” “This song came after a period that felt like rock bottom for the band,” says Julia. “It is about feeling beaten down but still driving forward, to keep faith, to grow and to continue to create on our own terms.” You can watch the video, directed by Isaac Roberts, below.
Sunflower Bean will be on tour starting in February, including UK/EU dates with Cage the Elephant and North American dates with fellow NYC band GIFT. The hometown show is at Warsaw on May 22. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday, January 31 at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
