Sunflower Bean have shared new single ‘There’s a Part I Can’t Get Back’, the final preview of ‘Mortal Primetime’.
The track arrives ahead of the New York trio’s fourth album, set for release via Lucky Number this Friday, 25th April.
“This song is about the lasting scars of grooming—the parts of yourself that are stolen and the anger you carry because of it,” Julia Cumming explains. “It came to me in such a raw and direct way, there was no second-guessing or wondering how I felt. I didn’t want to write a song about being healed, I wanted to be angry about needing to heal at all. The line, ‘If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord lets me get even first,’ is important because it captures the intensity of these feelings and how they go beyond logic. I am confronting the pain and the questions that will never be answered.”
‘Mortal Primetime’ marks the band’s first self-produced record, mixed by Caesar Edmunds and engineered by Sarah Tudzin.
