GROWING UP
ON LONG ISLAND, NICK KIVLEN AND JACOB FABER HARDLY knew any other kids at their
high school who listened to rock & roll. “You don’t know that rock exists
in this age unless someone show you,” says Faber 20. But they found it: Kivlen,
also 20,obsessed over Metallica and
Minor Threat before discovering Obama-era indie (“The First Beach Fossils album
changed my life, he says), while Faber, a talented jazz saxophonist, realized
it was more fun to drum along to Nirvana records. By the summer after they
graduated in 2013, they were gigging around New York as Sunflower Bean, with
Kivlen on guitar and vocals and Faber behind the kit. The band took off after
adding singer and bassist Julia cumming, a kindred spirit from Manhattan who
loved seventies glam and lost-year Brian Wilson.
Sunflower
Bean’s full-length debut, Human Ceremony,
reflects those influences and more, whirling with glee through decades of
sweet riffs and psychedelic thrills.
I’ve wanted
to be a musician ever since I saw the glamrock VHS tape my dad put in for me
when I was a baby.
