Sunflower Bean: Moment In The Sun
New York trio Sunflower Bean—Julia Cumming, Nick Kivlen, and Jacob Faber–released their second album Twentytwo in Blue in 2018, which skyrocketed into the UK’s Top 40, and quickly followed it with 2019’s King of the Dudes EP, which featured “Come For Me” the band’s biggest single to-date. Since then, the band opened for Bernie Sanders and The Strokes in New Hampshire, Cumming appeared on Yves Tumor’s “Strawberry Privilege,” and the band toured extensively with the likes of Beck, Cage the Elephant, Interpol, Courtney Barnett, and more, while also playing countless international festivals. Now Sunflower Bean return with “Moment In The Sun”, premiered by Radio 1’s Annie Mac as the ‘Hottest Record In The World’ and their first new material of 2020.
Produced by Dave Bassett (Vance Joy, Bishop Briggs, Fitz and the Tantrums) and Jacob Portrait (of Unknown Mortal Orchestra), “Moment In The Sun” is out now, alongside a stunning music video made in quarantine with VMA-nominated directors Andy DeLuca and Sarah Eisman, co-starring Julia Cumming and Marquis Rodriguez of Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us.
“‘Moment In The Sun’ is about finally recognizing what is important in one’s life, the people you decide to spend it with,” Sunflower Bean explain of the track. “All of these things we distract ourselves with, the never-ending mountain of career climbing, the pursuit of financial success, and the hope that after all that trying you could finally be cool. All of that is meaningless in comparison to one great day, hour, or moment with someone you really love.”
