SUNFLOWER BEAN THERE’S A PART I CAN’T GET BACK

Sunflower Bean share new track ‘There’s A Part I Can’t Get Back’ - an unguarded reflection on stolen innocence. The third single from the New York trio’s upcoming fourth album Mortal Primetime channels some of their most vulnerable songwriting to date. Vocalist Julia Cumming’s lyricism is embedded with an ache, her refrains recited as a childhood prayer against an ornate, baroque-tinged arrangement of chiming, elevated guitar melodies driven by a steady hum of bass and beating drum flourishes. The contrast cuts deeply as Sunflower Bean contend with past wounds with no intention of softening the blow. A quiet self-acceptance is interwoven with a personal reckoning, echoing the broader sentiment of Mortal Primetime. It’s a poignant glimpse of a trio embracing their pain with grace, executing a powerful statement of growth. -Kayla Sandiford
