Sunflower Beam Release New Song via NPR, Sign With Mom + Pop

Today New York trio Sunflower Bean announce that they have signed with Mom + Pop and share their first new single since releasing their critically acclaimed debut album Human Ceremony in 2016. The dreamy new song "I Was A Fool" is their first release with the label, and can be heard now HERE via NPR Music or HERE. You can also watch the band's prom-inspired music video for the track. Watch a clip for the Andy DeLuca-directed video HERE and watch the full music video on Apple Music HERE.

"'I Was A Fool' is one of those songs that seemingly crept up from nowhere and into our practice space. It was a special moment between the three of us, Julia and I both improvised the lyrics," explains Nick Kivlen. "It feels like far longer, but it's been nearly 2 years since we've put new music into the world. I think this song is a good example of how we've grown as a band, while still staying true to the band that first played together back in high school."

Sunflower Bean have some upcoming headlining tour dates, including one of the first shows at Brooklyn's new venue Elsewhere on November 30th. They will also open for Wolf Alice on tour in the UK/EU this Fall, followed by a North American tour opening for Sleigh Bells early next year. See below to find a show near you and get your tickets HERE.

Sunflower Bean is: Jacob Faber [drums], Julia Cumming [vocals/bass], and Nick Kivlen [vocals/guitars]. Watch this space for more: https://www.sunflowerbeanband.com/
