Sunflower Bean will release new EP ‘SHAKE’ on September 27th.
The band’s third album ‘Headful of Sugar’ landed in 2022, winning huge acclaim in the process. Marked by their aesthetic and personal evolution, the record sparked another lengthy spell of touring.
Hitting the studio, Sunflower Bean have crafted a new EP. ‘SHAKE’ is out on September 27th, and it taps back into their foundations.
Initially, Sunflower Bean were an unsigned band traversing North America, searching for a break. These experiences wind their way into the material, which deal with elemental, formative memories.
“’SHAKE’ was inspired by our first years as a DIY band, the spirit that birthed us and gave us the chance to have this enduring journey together,” Sunflower Bean explain of the EP. “We wrote, recorded, engineered, and produced these songs so nothing was filtered through anyone else’s idea of us. We always felt like rock and roll was a feeling, not a sound. But sometimes there is no subverting it or explaining it. We’re now offering it exactly as it occurred to us.”
Alongside the release, the band are also plotting a 14-minute music video, charting the elements: earth, wind, water, fire, and metal.
Title cut ‘SHAKE’ is out now – vibrant and punchy, it blends their raw live sound with studio finesse. Tap in below.
