2016 has been a huge year for Sunflower Bean. Bursting out with the incredible Human Ceremony this year, the band has become a must see seemingly overnight. With their mixture of classic sounds with a psychedelic touch, they’ve made something that should sound familiar completely unique. As any band that’s suddenly bursting to a new level, they’ve been touring non-stop. We asked the band for a list of tracks that they listen to in the van and they delivered a list of tracks that perfectly encapsulate their sound and appeal. Check out the playlist below and be sure to grab tickets when they come to your town.
Playlist
Parquet Courts- Dust
Love this song. It’s got the drive! – Jacob Faber
DIIV- Under The Sun
Last year going on tour with DIIV and getting to see them play this song every day for a month was pretty great. – Jacob Faber
Spacemen 3- Hey Man
Hey man…. – Jacob Faber
Ulrika Spacek- She’s a Cult
Such a banger of a song. Loved playing with these guys in London. – Jacob Faber
Grateful Dead- China Cat Sunflower / I Know You Rider
I’ve found the Grateful Dead in my early 20’s and couldn’t be more excited. Don’t call me a dead head though!!! – Jacob Faber
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard- Mr. Beat
This whole album is great. Its like if thrash metal and krautrock had a baby and then that baby met Jerry Garcia and they had a baby. That baby would be King Gizz. – Jacob Faber
Unknown Mortal Orchestra- The World is Crowded
That rhythm section though… –Jacob Faber
Night Manager- Wolf Pyramid
One of the best bands from NYC. They broke up a few years ago but luckily left the world with a few killer EP’s. – Jacob Faber
Thee Oh Sees- Plastic Plant
This is off of their latest record “A Weird Exits”. I’ve been loving it lately. I feel like they’ve been going more and more towards the direction of CAN, which is cool. They’re using it as an influence but also still do something new and make it fresh. – Jacob Faber
Weaves- Coo Coo
You’re so coo coo, I’m so coo coo. – Jacob Faber
