New York trio Sunflower Bean released their debut album, Human Ceremony, on Fat Possum in 2016. Now the band has signed with a new label, Mom + Pop, and have shared a new song, "I Was a Fool." You can listen to the song below. There's also an Andy DeLuca-directed video for the song that takes place at a prom, but alas it's an Apple Music exclusive (so watch it here or watch a clip below).

The band's Nick Kivlen had this to say about the song in a press release: "'I Was a Fool' is one of those songs that seemingly crept up from nowhere and into our practice space. It was a special moment between the three of us, Julia and I both improvised the lyrics. It feels like far longer, but it's been nearly two years since we've put new music into the world. I think this song is a good example of how we've grown as a band, while still staying true to the band that first played together back in high school."
