Feb 4, 2016This is not a lazily retrogressive record however: its melodies burst with the fidgety energy of youth and ambition.
-
Feb 5, 2016Human Ceremony is an impressive debut from a band who seem positioned to make many more excellent albums if they can continue to do such a good job of mining the past for gold and revamping it in their own fashion like they do so well here.
-
Feb 16, 2016Human Ceremony is an instinctive record, with the band more than happy to act on an impulse. The enthusiasm of the band is infectious, always remaining grounded but delightfully exploring their own infinite limitations.
-
Apr 1, 2016Sunflower Bean have enough homegrown ability between them to draw up a series of immersing and original compositions.
-
Jan 29, 2016The band’s diverse influences sound best when Kivlen's voice serves as a darker echo of Cumming’s angelic optimism, especially in a call and response. But the band's hodgepodge approach doesn't always work.
-
Feb 26, 2016Singer Julia Cummings’ saccharine vocals overpower as they search for meaning and purpose. Sadly, they end up being somewhat more tepid and irritating.
-
Feb 17, 2016Ultimately, Human Ceremony is unremarkable despite its flaws. Its moments of vigor and excitement are repeatedly undercut by the overwhelming familiarity of it all.
