Details: Limited to 500.Sunflower Bean “Headful of Sugar” Lemonade (Transparent Yellow) Rough Trade LP (2022, Mom+Pop). New stock, sealed.

Description: “New York trio Sunflower Bean – vocalist and bassist Julia Cumming (she/her), guitarist and vocalist Nick Kivlen (he/him), and drummer Olive Faber (she/they) release their long-awaited third albumHeadful of Sugar.

A psychedelic headrush, fuelled by the agony and ecstasy of contemporary American life,Headful of Sugaris about outsiders disillusioned with the modern world who, despite their alienation, refuse to be subdued; buoyed by the relief found in interpersonal relationships that counteract the daily barrage of cheap entertainment and convenience.

If their acclaimed second albumTwentytwo in Blue, released in 2018, was a self-described ode to the fleeting innocence of youth, thenHeadful of Sugarshoves the listener into a new, dangerous world, one that is less safe but also less suffocating. Tomorrow is not promised, no tour is promised, no popularity is promised, no health or money is promised, bassist/vocalist Julia Cumming says. Why not make what you want to make on your own terms? Why not make a record that makes you want to dance? Why not make a record that makes you want to scream?

Headful of Sugarwas produced and mixed by UMOs Jacob Portrait, co-engineered by Olive Faber and Portrait, and recorded between Electric Lady and Sunflower Bean Studios.”
