New York psych-rock trio Sunflower Bean will release a covers EP entitled ‘From The Basement’ via Fat Possum. Following the release of Sunflower Bean’s debut album ‘Human Ceremony,’ which is already being lauded as one of the best of 2016 by the likes of Rolling Stone, Esquire and NME – ‘From the Basement’ is a 4-track EP, produced by Sunflower Bean & Matthew Molnar, and featuring cover versions of T-Rex, The Modern Lovers, Spiritualized and Neil Young. Listen to Old World from the EP now via The FADER.
‘From The Basement’ is available on clear green vinyl and limited to 500 copies worldwide. Bandcamp pre-orders are sold-out, so be sure to pick up a copy along Sunflower Bean’s headlining U.S. tour next month with The Lemon Twigs on support. All dates are below and tickets are here.

‘Human Ceremony’ was released on February 5th via Fat Possum. Drawing inspiration from a vast pool of influences such as Black Sabbath and The Cure, Sunflower Bean have crafted an album that is a potent, heady mix of swirling indie pop, urgent, fuzzed-out guitar bliss, and girl/boy sugar-spun vocal melodies that delivers a modern-day spin on classic rock & roll. It’s no wonder the album received a 4-star review from Rolling Stone, was named Rough Trade’s Album of the Month, and is spun internationally on stations including Beats 1, BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, Sirius XMU, and more.

Sunflower Bean is: Jacob Faber [drums], Julia Cumming [vocals/bass], and Nick Kivlen [vocals/guitars].
