Sunflower Bean have released a new single, ‘Crashing Highs’, and confirmed a deluxe edition of their recent album ‘Mortal Primetime’ via Lucky Number, featuring five additional tracks.
The New York trio – Julia Cumming (vocals, bass), Nick Kivlen (vocals, guitar), and Olive Faber (drums) – issued ‘Mortal Primetime’ earlier this year, their first self-produced full-length and the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Headful of Sugar’.
Introducing the new track, the band say ‘Crashing Highs’ is “about chasing the past and losing grip on something that once felt huge, the peaks and valleys of infatuation until it slips away completely. We were very influenced by Sonic Youth on this one, wanting something with the energy of room, raw guitars, and splashing cymbals.” Reflecting on the wider album ethos, Julia Cumming adds, “You get to decide what your prime is, and you fight for it. This is ours.”
