Working with Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Jacob Portrait and Friends’ Matt Molnar, the trio come of age with this sonically mature follow up album. Sunflower Bean stay true to their guitar band core and classic rock-inspired roots, while exploring new sonic textures with more direct and progressive themes.

Unlike their debut, which was essentially a compilation of songs Sunflower Bean wrote while still in their teens, Twentytwo in Blue was made in the year between December 2016 and December 2017 and showcases how far the band has come since playing together in their high school days.

Ahead of the album, the band have shared new single ‘Crisis Fest.’
