New York trio Sunflower Bean share their latest single, “Roll The Dice”, from their forthcoming new album Headful Of Sugar. The track mixes melody and dissonance, melding towering walls of feedback, static and squalling guitars with vocalist and bassist Julia Cumming (she/her), guitarist and vocalist Nick Kivlen (he/him) signing in union. And it feels huge.
“Roll The Dice” was written about how many young adults now need side-hustles to secure their futures after being sold the myth of the “American Dream” The band explains, “Almost everyone we know struggles with money. The traditional routes towards success and stability in America have severely narrowed. The only way to get ahead is to take big risks and roll the dice.”
