Show Me Your Seven secrets is a weird blend of punk, psychedelia and new wave that gives this album a vintage vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Bassist and singer Julia Cumming, who is also a model for Yves Saint Laurent, has a sweetly soprano voice that perfectly contrasts to the band\u2019s heavy, late 60s riffs and fuzz.<\/p>\n<p>Track 3, \u201cTame Impala,\u201d is my favorite because, while there are obvious influences of Tame Impala, Sunflower Bean doesn\u2019t try to copy their sound.<\/p>\n<p>The entire album relies heavily on the strong rhythm section and the psychedelic, jangly riffs that layer above it\u2014the guitar is sometimes reminiscent of 80s bands like INXS and the Smiths, which makes this album all the more interesting because of its eclectic influences.<\/p>\n<p>I could definitely see Sunflower Bean and local band Psychic Heat sharing a bill at a hypothetical show.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Tame Impala, Temples, (some) Blondie, Dum Dum Girls, Television<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 3 (Tame Impala), 4 (Rock and Roll Heathen), 5 (Ok Mr. Man), all of them<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Caroline Roe on 04\/17\/2015 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great psychedelic album from Brooklyn&#8217;s Sunflower Bean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":33916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[2951,986,2998,2997],"class_list":["post-33915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-caroline-roe","tag-rotation","tag-show-me-your-seven-secrets","tag-sunflower-bean"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2108312.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
