Sunflower Bean have released their new single, “I Don’t Have Control Sometimes” from their long-awaited new album, Headful of Sugar, out next month. Listen to the track now below.
Headful of Sugar will be released on May 6 via Lucky Number, and follows Sunflower Bean navigating the agony and ecstasy of contemporary American life. Fans can pre-order the album now HERE.
On the new song, vocalist/bassist, Julia Cumming (she/her) revels in a period of recklessness and instability that brought her to the breaking point that made this new album such a force. But there’s no darkness to mine here “I Don’t Have Control Sometimes” is a jangly, bright pop song reminiscent of The Cure, confident in its refusal to be apologetic.
Julia explains, “I’ve always thought that my reckless side was both a gift and a curse, leading me to my best choices on stage but my worst choices in life. I don’t have control sometimes is admission, acceptance, and almost celebration of the parts of yourself that are impulsive or maybe even insane.”
