“There’s nothing romantic in being alone.” So goes the refrain on Sunflower Bean’s surprising new single. The song — our latest preview of the NYC rock band’s forthcoming Mortal Primetime — boasts a power-chord-blasted chorus with huge harmonized hooks, straight out of ’70s and ’80s arena rock. The band cites Heart, Pat Benatar, and Joan Jett as inspirations, and, yeah, it really does fit into that lineage. “Nothing Romantic” also features piano from Jellyfish’s Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and a video directed by Sophia Feuer.
