- "The music is both restrained and aggressive...but like a lot of great rock'n'roll, it’s also catchy, compelling, and concise." -Pitchfork
- “This might be the best song Sunflower Bean have ever penned—those guttural guitars buzzy like early Stone Temple Pilots, the heady harmonies of the chorus reminiscent of Elastica, and that beat destined to inspire a shimmy and a shake…” -Noisey
- “Another killer track…one of the band’s best songs to date.” - The FADER
Sunflower Bean will release their utterly brilliant debut album Human Ceremony February 5th, and today they share the album’s gorgeous second single and lead track entitled “Easier Said.” On this song, Nick Kivlen’s lilting, clean guitar is met with Julia Cumming’s delicate, gliding vocals, which spiral off into a vibrant hum as she sings simple yet hard-hitting truths like, “Should have just stayed home when I’d rather/Be aloneinstead” and “You're getting old/So act your age/It isn't fun /To make the same mistakes.” The result is a subtly beautiful single that will prove difficult to forget.
Sunflower Bean – who are known internationally for their exhilarating live shows – return in February for their first European headline tour. The band, who recently supported The Vaccines in the UK, will play live in Belgium.
12/02 LIVE @ Botanique, Brussels
