Sunflower Bean announce their first self-produced album, Mortal Primetime

“This song came after a period that felt like rock bottom for the band. It is about feeling beaten down but still driving forward, to keep faith, to grow and to continue to create on our own terms, our Mortal Primetime," the band says of the new single, which follows the release of their first fully self-produced and recorded project, SHAKE.

Next month, Sunflower Bean will return to the UK/EU for a tour supporting Cage The Elephant, as well as a special intimate headline show at The George Tavern in London on 27th February.

Mortal Primetime – the band’s fourth album, but first self-produced – finds Sunflower Bean with a renewed sense of purpose after nearly losing everything they built together. “You get to decide what your prime is, and you fight for it,” bassist and vocalist Julia Cumming says. “This is ours, and that can’t be taken away by circumstance. We can’t take it away from each other. This moment, where we are now, is what we’ve always fought for.” With mixing by Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, Wet Leg) and engineering by Sarah Tudzin (Illuminati Hotties, Boygenius).
