Sunflower Bean - Headful Of Sugar - CASSETTES

?The three main works on the CD are favourite pieces of mine that I often listened to as a student. One is the Suite No. 1 in E minor, BWV 996, by Johann Sebastian Bach. Another piece that I have always liked immensely, and which I thought that I will one day learn is the InchValses PoeticosInch by Enrique Granados, and in the same way, I had started the InchSonatine pour harpeInch op. 30 by Marcel Tournier, but never finished it. I then developed a plan to make a CD in order to create an additional project for myself using these three pieces as a basis. I combined the three great works by Bach, Granados and Tournier so that they became 'pathfinders', so to speak, with the Renaissance pieces by Mayone connecting these three longer pieces with one another. This has the effect of creating a larger whole that can be experienced as a single concept. Markus Folker Thalheimer

The first track off the album, InchI Was A FoolInch has gained over a million streams and received press praise from The New York Times, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, MTV, NPR and more. The follow-up track, InchCrisis FestInch is a call to millennial arms, melding pop shimmer and drive with the personal and political. Inch2017-we know/ Reality's one big sick show/ Every day's a crisis festInch, Cumming sings. InchTwentytwoInch is only one example of a gentler side of Sunflower Bean that's on display on the new album. While the trio remains a guitar band at it's core, new and different textures shine on this new album. Sunflower Bean's diverse sound has allowed them to tour alongside DIIV, Best Coast, Pixes and Wolf Alice. Their 2018 is filled with headline shows, festivals and a tour with Sleigh Bells. The New York times named them InchSpirited interpreters of rock 'n' roll's eternal truths, the three early-20s New Yorkers who make up Sunflower Bean are equally adept at studio finesse (witness their recent single I Was a Fool') and raucous live noise.InchBurn ItI Was a FoolTwentytwoCrisis FestMemoriaPuppet StringsOnly A MomentHuman ForAny Way You LikeSinking SandsOh No, Bye Bye

All of the opulence we're surrounded by is just sugar, connection to others is the real sustenance.Inch
