The band chatted to Matt Wilkinson on Beats 1.
Sunflower Bean chatted to Matt Wilkinson on Beats 1 Radio last night (16th August), and gave an update on progress with their new album.
The Brooklyn band also premiered covers of T-Rex and Neil Young, and revealed they are releasing a new EP later this year.
Talking of songs for the new album, the band said: “We’re thinking about them. The one that we’ve played live is the one we’re working out. We can’t say the name yet. We still have sixty more shows to do on this album.
“We write during the sound check. I’ve been bringing my laptop around and trying to record stuff. We’re working on stuff at home, we’re all really, really eager to do this next record and put together all the things we now know how to do. We’re really excited about it, when we get to make it which will probably be in the winter.”
