-------------

Bunny is a stunning evolution of Beach Fossils' sound throughout the years, pulling elements from the jangly melancholy of What a Pleasure, the lush arrangements of Somersault and the gritty, post-punk inspired tracks from Clash the Truth.

The record has Dustin Payseur's most vulnerable lyrics by far. He’s pushed himself to be honest and give insight to his emotional world. From poignant words about a family member’s cancer battle, the joy of being a father, to smoking a cigarette out of a car window with friends--it’s the band's most vivid and personal work to date.

Beach Fossils have spotlighted at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Primavera, and Posty Fest, in addition to sold-out headline dates at venues like Brooklyn Steel, The Wiltern, and Thalia Hall. The Other Side of Life: Piano Ballads hit No. 3 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Albums chart and the band recently cracked two million Spotify monthly listeners and seven million monthly listeners total across all platforms. Bunny will be released June 2nd on Bayonet Records--a genre-expansive indie label he co-founded in 2014 that has served as an incubator for a diverse roster of developing artists since its inception.

[BeachFossils]

The city hasn’t felt the same
Since you moved away
man, we had some days
Wonder if you found your way

I can’t wait ‘till I’m coming back
Out on tour just finished this pack
Of cigarettes
And I don’t even smoke

She’s novocaine
It’s all I need
To ease the pain

Don’t fade away
I know you know
Anyway

Said something funny
But you didn’t hear me
Almost said it again more clearly
But it’s over
Then you pulled me close

Last night
Said we’d both be sober
Riding my bike in the morning
I’m still hungover
Is this a meaningful moment

She’s novocaine
It’s all I need
To ease the pain

Don’t fade away
I know you know
anyway

I’ll go down
I’ll go down
I’ll go down
I’ll go down
I’ll go down
I’ll go down
I’ll go down

She’s novocaine
It’s all I need
To ease the pain

Don’t fade away
I know you know
anyway

i really respect that beach fossils are able to use their style/old elements to craft stuff that still feels fresh & modern... all while feeling true to their signature sound. can't wait for this new era boys <3

[juniorabnert]

The best qualities of What A Pleasure with the cleaner, modern sound of Somersault?

June can’t come fast enough.

[elchingon]

This has some serious 2010-2015 indie rock vibes. I’ve been a fan of this band for many many years, at least 10 years. I’m glad they’re still around.

[bingefest]

I cannot wait for this album. This song gets better each listen

[TheFishingKitten]

Whenever you need them most, Beach Fossils will be there.

[adamweston]

I love it! I'm 52 and a sucker for jangly guitars and this is a great sounding song and the lyrics have meaning and that's a rarity these days.

[anamablaba]

Sounds like Gin Blossoms, Guster, …. Love Y2K alt references. Been listening nonstop ❤

[mnfstdsgn]

shout out to the cinematographer! beautiful shots 🐰💙

[richardherbst]

Indie/Alt is the best there is and this is proof positive. I like that the mainstream is missing out...this is too good for them.

[MalachiJones-ivqz]

Trippin rn In FL and just gotta let these nights know we love you 🔥

[aems]

Man, Somersault brings back so many memories of summer nights in 2017.

6 years later, they drop the follow up and I'm about to have a kid. Feel like I'll have even better memories associated with this one. Very excited to hear the full thing! Solid track.

[LuziferionYT]

This song is giving me Fleetwood Mac vibes ❤ love it! Cant wait to hear the full Album.

[moe]

they’re opening up for post malone at the pavilion and i’m super excited to see them!!

[bucks]

Wow, his voice. I remember I was out at a bar and heard the song and fumbled to get my phone out and Spotify. I haven't Spotify'd that hard ever. Wow! I listen to it a lot. Amazing.

[rachmanfachri]

They tried to resurrect the 2018 indie era and they nailed it

[mycatsnameiskaren]

These guys are playing in my town this Saturday, and I wanted to check them out first. Love them!!!!

[Hallo-]

I just saw these guys opening for Slowdive in Adelaide and, damn. This song is genuinely so sick live

[Nbrs]

You didn't bretray your style, great tune! <3

[bucks]

I go out and 'Work from home' while I listen to this on repeat. <3
