May 6, 2022With Headful of Sugar, Sunflower Bean turn the pangs of growing up into hypnotic, intoxicating pop.
-
May 6, 2022Ultimately an exercise in Sunflower Bean showing off that they can do just about everything well.
-
May 4, 2022It’s a passionately fearless and honest body of work, one that pays no heed to the prevailing and increasingly regressive backward looking indie rock trends. Indeed this is undoubtedly a forward-thinking album full of vibrancy and excitement, one that engages the head and the heart from a band who have always strived to do both, and it succeeds on pretty much every level.
-
May 4, 2022With cinematic soundscapes of art-rock in tow, Headful of Sugar is a heavenly ride that actively embraces a full spectrum of feeling; from self-destructive tendencies to the saccharine thrills of youth.

UncutMay 4, 2022It all combines to paint a picture of a band entering a distinct new phase. [Jun 2022, p.33]

May 12, 2022At no point does Headful of Sugar come off as cynical, though the central premise falls apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny: This is a largely beloved, well-connected, and unabashedly accessible rock band trying to be convincing as the voice of outcasts obeying their most reckless impulses.

Jun 6, 2022The problem with Headful of Sugar isn’t that it’s bad. It’s that if a band is going to tell people one more time that, “Nothing in this life is really free”, they’d better have a profound, distinctive way of doing it, and Headful of Sugar doesn’t quite get there.
