Beach Bunny releasing debut LP, touring; listen to "Dream Boy"
Chicago indie pop outfit Beach Bunny‘s lead vocalist and songwriter, Lili Trifilio, began the band as a singer-songwriter project in 2015. A few EPs later, they’ve announced their debut LP, Honeymoon, due out February 14 via Mom + Pop. They’ve also shared a catchy, breezy new single, “Dream Boy.” About it, Lili says, “‘Dream Boy’ was inspired by summer love—it is a song about being jaded to the idea of falling for someone again after being heartbroken in the past. It’s about giving into the butterflies in your stomach even when love seems so scary at times. In the context of Honeymoon, ‘Dream Boy’ is an anthem of change in perspective, instead of viewing love as difficult the listener begins to open up to the possibility that just because the past was painful, doesn’t mean the future has to be. It reminds me of the color baby blue, poolside romance, and the optimism of summer’s beginning.” Listen below.
As mentioned, Beach Bunny kick off their fall tour with a hometown Halloween show, and they have dates stretching into March of 2020. Those dates include two NYC shows – one at Rough Trade on November 21, which is sold out, and a new date at Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 31. Tickets for MHOW are on American Express Cardholder presale now, and go on general sale Friday 11/1 noon.
