\"sunflower-bean-human-ceremony\"<\/a>Sunflower Bean<\/a>\u2019s new record proves to be an alternative sensation the first time I heard it. I found the new record on New Artists Spotlight via iTunes. The album is titled \u201cHuman Ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n

The title track \u201cHuman Ceremony\u201d proves to be the slower tracks on the album with a male and female vocals throughout the track. This is a great introduction to the album because it gets the listener used to the Sunflower Bean\u2019s new sound. The second track on the album titled \u201cCome On\u2019 is much faster paced than the first track which proves to be the norm throughout the entire album. There are loud drums during the climax of the song which continues through the next few songs. The third song titled: \u201c2013<\/a>\u201d proves to be edgy as well as soon as it begins. The two female and male vocals take command early in the song, complementing the pace of the song well. This song is for sure a standout from the rest of the songs since it sounds just like a standard alternative song. \u201c2013\u201d takes a fast turn when it unexpectedly picks up until it abruptly ends. \u201cEasier Said\u2019 proves to be one of my favorites of the album because it slows down just a bit and lets the listener hear the music. The beat moves steadily throughout the song and that is what I like about the most. The vocals on top also complement the song nicely. \u201cThis Kind of Feeling\u201d picks up where \u201c2013\u201d left off with the female vocals taking command yet again. The song proves to be just as edgy as the first two with a beat that takes early command. This song also has an abrupt ending. \u201cI Was Home\u201d is more of the same with a driving beat throughout and fast paced overall pace. This album proves to be one of my favorites with the vocals loud and clear throughout. I love how the overall sound of the song because it sounds just like the previous tracks.<\/p>\n

The one thing I enjoy the most about the album is the vocals that sit on top of the music no matter how fast the songs go. I also enjoy hearing the instruments throughout the song along with the vocals. The reaming songs are quite interesting and prove why this album is under the category of alternative. Personally, I love albums with different sounds because I can take a different perspective on what I hear. I never want an album to sound the same because that can hinder my enjoyment and everyone else\u2019s who ends up listening to the record. I was happy to find the band Sunflower Bean also released an EP last year. -Signe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
