Oh Sunflower Bean, you pretty little rock and rollers, you… What are we gunna do with you? You’re all so fashionable, so fresh and so clean, but your music brings as much color as your look (thank god) – and also some sweat and dirt. I’ve attended a good handful of Sunflower Bean shows, and I have to say I’m very glad they released this track out of the bunch in their repertoire. ‘Tame Impala’ is undoubtedly their favorite band, so much they named a song after them. "You always say what’s on my mind," shreaks Julia Cumming; well Tame Impala is on Sunflower Bean’s mind. The tune contains one of my all time favorite Sunflower Bean breakdowns; about three minutes in, the song slows down and the bass booster on Nick Kivlen’s pedal board makes his guitar sound like a synth until the song rides into a wave of psychedelic chaos of noise. As of late the band has been hitting NYC venues once a week, often selling out places – check em out tonight (08.03) at Baby’s All Right and on 09.03 at Bowery Electric. – Jake Saunders
