Sunflower Bean share new single “rejecting the myth of the tortured artist”, ‘Nothing Romantic’

Sunflower Bean have shared their new single ‘Nothing Romantic’, taken from their upcoming fourth album ‘Mortal Primetime’.

“‘Nothing Romantic’ is about rejecting the myth of the tortured artist—realizing that the joys of creativity don’t have to come from the lows of misery,” the band explain. “The video mirrors this journey, capturing our lives as touring musicians in between nightmarish performances. From green rooms to lost highways, we travel from town to town, feeling alive only in the escape of our show. There’s tension between the connection and solitude; on stage, we’re together, sharing our music with others but later isolation and the price of our sacrifices creep in.”

‘Mortal Primetime’ marks the band’s first self-produced album, mixed by Caesar Edmunds and engineered by Sarah Tudzin. The record emerges after a three-year gap following their previous album ‘Headful of Sugar’, during which the band members pursued separate projects.
