Sunflower Bean’s self produced EP “SHAKE” (2024)

“History suggests that 22 is a good age for a popular musician to be...This explains in part how confident and cool Sunflower Bean, all three members of which recently turned that magic age, sound on Twenty-Two in Blue, their second full-length album.”
- New York TImes
“…this band is full of surprises and shifts. There’s an exhilarating feeling seeing this band live; I got the impression that they even surprised each other during the performance.”

– NPR’s All Songs Considered
"[Sunflower Bean are] evolving in bits and pieces, facing new challenges while also preserving elements of their youthfulness. That balance might be what gives their new sound — a bolder, sturdier, and more intoxicating blend of classic rock, new wave and Americana-style pop — such a specific authenticity."

- The FADER
"Effortless and fearless, Sunflower Bean’s latest is a breakneck showcase of the trio’s talent. With each tune a high-octane chunk of the bold, New York indie the band have honed, it’s a triumph."

-NME
