Sunflower Bean are gearing up to release their sophomore album Twentytwo in Blue. We've already heard "I Was a Fool," "Crisis Fest," and "Twentytwo." Today, they've shared yet another single called "Human For." The band says of the song: "Music and art is the religion for the non-religious. It gives life meaning and purpose. It keeps us alive. This song is a rallying cry for our purpose, and a rejection of the way other people think you must define your life." Twentytwo in Blue is out March 23 on Mom + Pop, which also happens to be the day all three members turn 22.

Today, they've unveiled a music video for "Poor Boy," off the third EP, exclusively via Tidal. The video features a boy who spies on his interesting apartment complex neighbors. The How To Solve Our Human Problems EPs are out now on Matador. [ Consequence of Sound ]
