“When you’re in a band, you always dream about the first record,” Julia concludes. in stock 13 Rock/Pop save to wishlist Track Listing. Sunflower Bean’s spell is cast on Human Ceremony. Sunflower Bean - Human Ceremony CD /new-music/human-ceremony-sunflower-bean-cd-4220/ 767981154220. On the lead track “Easier Said,” Julia’s delicate vocals glide over a lilting clean guitar that spirals off into a vibrant hum. Whereas the EP was recorded after Sunflower Bean played 100 shows in one year, Human Ceremony showed the band’s studio side with richer soundscapes, overdubs, and music that had yet to be debuted live. Taking the ideas out of the basement, they hit a Brooklyn studio with producer Matt Molnar and tracked eleven tunes in just seven days. They took the summer of 2015 off and retreated to Jacob’s basement to write together. By the time, they entered the studio for Human Ceremony, Sunflower Bean had a lively aural cauldron from which to draw.
At the same time, this distinct alchemy enchanted ever-growing audiences live. They transferred this multi-headed energy into their 2015 Independent EP, Show Me Your Seven Secrets. Sunflower Bean s second album, Twentytwo in Blue, was written during two times of upheaval: the bandmembers navigating their early twenties and the first year of the Trump presidency. Through constant gigging around New York, Sunflower Bean sprouted into a sonic enigma, boasting a fiery musical call-and-response that serves as a centerpiece, giving the music what Jacob refers to as a “lyrical aspect” between the guitars, drums, and bass. Julia’s addition would only expand that creative palette further in 2013. They would hole up in Jacob’s Long Island basement for hours on end, channeling this vast cadre of influences. That diversity defined the group’s approach since Nick and Jacob started jamming back in high school. “It’d be boring if everything was just one way or the other.” “You’re allowed to obsess over Black Sabbath as well as The Cure,” adds Julia. “We love dream pop, but we also really love rock ‘n’ roll.
“Everything comes from a conflicting interest,” affirms Nick. The young trio returned from touring the world in support of their excellent debut album, Human Ceremony, with an expanded worldview and a desire to write simple, punchy songs that talked honestly about their lives and their feelings about the world. That push-and-pull colors the aural tapestry of these three musicians-Jacob Faber, Julia Cumming, and Nick Kivlen. The New York trio’s full-length debut album, Human Ceremony, emerges at the intersection of dreamy modern psychedelica and urgent fuzzed-out bliss. Sunflower Bean find magic within friction.
