<b>CMJ Music Marathon 2014</b> – are kicking the New Year off with the self-release of their killer debut EP.
<b><i>Show Me Your Seven Secrets</i></b>, out <b>January 27<sup>th</sup></b>, is the first offering from
<b>Julia Cumming, Nick Kivlen</b>, and <b>Jacob Faber</b>, a.k.a. the neo-psych band Sunflower Bean. Though all three members have yet to turn 20, they have already earned the title “Hardest Working NYC Band in 2014” by playing – and completely slaying – over
50 shows in New York City alone last year. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Sunflower Bean</b> are re-inventing the garage band wheel. <b><i>Show Me Your Seven Secrets</i></b>, a collection of dark and pure rock & roll bliss, isn’t due until the end of the month, but you can listen to a few stand-out tracks now.
