"Made up of old souls in photogenic forms, this teenage psychedelic rock trio mixes metal-influenced guitar squall with Arctic New Wave vocals..." - New York Times
"Four minutes of dark psychedelic sludge and sunny melody from the rising New York band, sort of like Black Sabbath covering the Kinks." - Rolling Stone
"...this band is full of surprises and shifts. There's an exhilarating feeling seeing this band live; I got the impression that they even surprised each other during the performance." - NPR's All Songs Considered (Bob Boilen's Top 10 Discoveries From The 2014 CMJ Music Marathon)
"...a fine-tuned ear for faded garage and psych sounds: melodic riffs, little shrieks, noisy smears of feedback sludge." - The FADER
"The teenage rock scene has gotten a lot grungier and a bit more glam these days thanks to Brooklyn trio Sunflower Bean." - NYMag.com
Sunflower Bean just announced a massive tour with DIIV and released a 7" vinyl via Fat Possum, and today they unveil a new music video. Receiving a stellar visual treatment is the vinyl's a-side "I Hear Voices," which masterfully weaves in and out of a sublime, bass-heavy, neo-psych rock sludge and a haunting, percussive call-and-response between co-vocalists Nick Kivlen and Julia Cumming. Directed by Kyle Hide, the video was inspired by YouTube, today's dependence on social media, and the ever-looming Big Brother. PRESS HERE to watch now via Noisey and see below for tour routing.
