Twentytwo in blue

"For a trio in their early '20s, this album possesses a strikingly sound level of judgement. Not one song feels out of place or undercooked. Even the more lighthearted tracks (like `Sinking Sands', on which guitarist Nick Kivlen sings about his pal Max "thinking in comic sans") feel like they belong, no matter how playful and whimsical the lyrics. With any justice, this'll be the album that catapults them into being recognised as one of the most important artists in the game. But not to worry: as they croon on `Anyway You Like', time is most definitely on their side. And it's astonishing what they've done with it thus far".

"[Their music] has transformed from a tuneful mix of shoegaze, grunge and psychedelia into a bigger, bolder pop-rock beast with huge riffs, Byrds-y jangles, funkier rhythms and sassier, dreamier vocals. At times they recall Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac ... They have not shed their skins entirely. There are still shades of the Velvet Underground, shoegaze and dreamily psychedelic 60s balladry. But this is a convincing realignment from a band whose fears of the future have coincided with the euphoria of musical liberation".

"The Brooklyn band's second album offers a reverent spin on the alt and indie-rock canon. Their songwriting has grown tighter since their debut, but their music is unlikely to inspire strong emotions".

"Newyorker-trioen Sunflower Bean indskriver sig i en lang tradition for frisk og optimistisk indierock. Hvor alt det indadvendte og følsomme bliver vendt ud mod verden i uskyldigt brusende omkvæd".
