Big news in Beanland (not Boston, you fool!). Three years after Headful of Sugar, Sunflower Bean are back again with news of a new album called Mortal Primetime, its first single “Champagne Taste,” and details of a forthcoming tour. The crunchy rock track features buzzing guitars and sloshing hi hats, a verifiable delightful mess of alt-rock glory the band has become celebrated for. Vocalist Julia Cumming sings: “Hey babe I like your lips / Even more, I like your clothes.” Fashion over facial features every damn day.

Check out the band’s upcoming tour dates below (including February supporting dates for Cage the Elephant, as well as post-release headlining gigs with support from GIFT and Laveda) as well as the video for “Champagne Taste,” and pre-order Mortal Primetime—arriving April 25—here.
