SUNFLOWER BEAN Premiere New Track & Announce New Tour Dates!

PREMIERE NEW SINGLE "EASIER SAID" VIA STEREOGUM& ANNOUNCE MORE U.S. TOUR DATES Debut Album Human Ceremony Out February 5th via Fat Possum(Credit: Ruby June) Early praise for Sunflower Bean + Human Ceremony:   "Three and a half minutes of impossibly jangly guitar bliss and sweet-dreams vocals make ['Easier Said'] the best thing we've heard yet from the New York psychedelic-rock trio..." - Rolling Stone   "The music is both restrained and aggressive...but like a lot of great rock'n'roll, it's also catchy, compelling, and concise." - Pitchfork   "Another killer track...one of the band's best songs to date." - The FADER   "Guitars fade in and out, bending like a black hole pulling in metal riffs and spitting them out into a psychedelic universe on the other side." - Consequence of Sound   "This might be the best song Sunflower Bean have ever penned-those guttural guitars buzzy like early Stone Temple Pilots, the heady harmonies of the chorus reminiscent of Elastica, and that beat destined to inspire a shimmy and a shake..." - Noisey
Sunflower Bean will release their utterly brilliant debut album Human Ceremony next month, and today they share the album's gorgeous second single and lead track entitled "Easier Said." On this song, Nick Kivlen's lilting, clean guitar is met with Julia Cumming's delicate, gliding vocals, which spiral off into a vibrant hum as she sings simple yet hard-hitting truths like, "Should have just stayed home when I'd rather/Be alone instead" and "You're getting old/So act your age/It isn't fun /To make the same mistakes." The result is a subtly beautiful single that will prove difficult to forget.PRESS HERE to listen via  Stereogum  now. Sunflower Bean - who are known internationally for their exhilarating live shows - also announce the second leg of their U.S. Spring tour. PRESS HERE for tickets.  Human Ceremony  will be released on February 5th via Fat Possum. Drawing inspiration from a vast pool of influences such as Black Sabbath and The Cure, Sunflower Bean have crafted an album that is a potent, heady mix of swirling indie pop, urgent, fuzzed-out guitar bliss, and girl/boy sugar-spun vocal melodies that delivers a modern-day spin on classic rock & roll. Having gotten their start in the DIY New York scene, Sunflower Bean quickly accelerated into one of the foremost up-and-coming bands nationally and overseas over the last few months. Following the release of their singular EP earlier this year, and a 7-inch vinyl this Summer, Sunflower Bean played over 100 shows in one year between the U.S. and Europe, opening for the likes of DIIV, Best Coast, and Wolf Alice, and delivering show-stopping sets at CMJ, SXSW and UK's Great Escape festival.  Now, Sunflower Bean are set to deliver one of the best debuts you will hear in 2016.  PRESS HERE to watch the music video for the album's first single "Wall Watcher." PRESS HERE to pre-order  Human Ceremony  on CD or vinyl, and HERE on iTunes. Sunflower Bean are: Jacob Faber [drums], Julia Cumming [vocals/bass], and Nick Kivlen[vocals/guitars]. International Tour Dates (US Dates in BOLD)2/2/16              Bristol, UK @ Louisiana2/3/16              Birmingham, UK @ Hare & Hounds2/6/16              Paris, FR @ Le Pop Up Du Label2/8/16              Copenhagen, DK @ Ideal Bar2/9/16              Berlin, GR @ Berghain Kantine2/10/16            Hamburg, GR @ Molotov Bar2/12/16            Brussels, BE @ Botanique2/13/16            Lille, GR @ LA Peniche2/15/16            Edinburgh, UK @ Sneaky Pete's2/16/16            Manchester, UK @ Soup Kitchen2/18/16            London, UK @ The Dome2/19/16            Brighton, UK @ Bleach2/25/16            New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom2/26/16            Hanover, NH @ Bones Gate Fraternity +2/27/16            Cambridge, MA @ Middle East Club Upstairs2/28/16            Montreal, QC @ Quasi Des Brumes3/1/16              Toronto, ON @ Smiling Buddha3/2/16              Detroit, MI @ Majestic Café +3/3/16              Chicago, IL @ Schubas Tavern +3/4/16              Lakewood, OH @ Mahall's 20 Lanes +3/5/16              Rochester, NY @ Lovin' Cup +3/6/16              Philadelphia, PA @ Kung Fu Necktie +3/10/16            Washington D.C. @ Black Cat *3/11/16             Durham, NC @ The Pinhook3/15-3/20/16     Austin, TX @ SXSW 20163/24/16             Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo3/25/16             La Jolla, CA @ Che Café3/26/16             Santa Cruz, CA @ The Crepe Place3/27/16             San Francisco, CA @ Brick & Mortar Music Hall3/29/16             Seattle, WA @ The Vera Project3/30/16             Vancouver, BC @ The Cobalt3/31/16             Portland, OR @ Analog Café Lounge4/1/16              Nampa, ID @ Flying M4/2/16              Salt Lake City, UT @ Kilby Court4/3/16              Denver, CO @ Larimer Lounge4/5/16              Minneapolis, MN @ 7th Street Entry4/6/16              Madison, WI @ The Frequency4/7/16              Bloomington, IN @ The Bishop4/8/16              Columbus, OH @ Rumba Café4/9/16              Pittsburg, PA @ The Smiling Moose; Upstairs* w/ Mass Gothic+ w/ Honduras
