Coachella '22 news: Beach Bunny

Beach Bunny's sophomore album Emotional Creature is due July 22 on Mom+Pop Music. The Chicago-based quartet fronted by Lili Trifilio recently released the single “Fire Escape.” The song was preceded by 2021’s “Oxygen.”

About the release, Trifilio says, “We are always changing, growing, and adapting - it’s a deeply ingrained part of the human experience. We strive to be stronger, trust we’ll grow smarter, and spend most of our lives reaching for comfort and happiness. Sometimes, life is stagnant, sometimes, life is difficult - but the wonderful part of being human is that we evolve and make the bleak moments beautiful - we find new ways to survive. Humans are emotional creatures and I wanted to capture that with this album in order to show how complex, sometimes tragic, and mostly wonderful the human experience can be.”

Emotional Creature was written immediately prior to and during the pandemic and recorded at Chicago’s Shirk Studios. Finding herself back at her parents’ home in spring of 2020 following the tour surrounding the band’s critically and commercially acclaimed debut Honeymoon, Trifilio coped with her new reality by retreating into sci-fi stories and her always-active imagination. She envisioned new places to travel in her mind, thus dreaming up big, bombastic Y2K-esque pop sounds to construct the album and its galaxial imagery.

Beach Bunny has garnered over a billion streams across their discography and sold over 60,000 tickets since the beginning of lockdown, not to mention getting three consecutive singles on the Alternative radio chart, with “Cloud 9” cracking the top 25 and going RIAA-certified Gold, their second Gold single of 2021 following “Prom Queen.” 

Last year, the band collaborated with Tegan and Sara on a reimagined version of “Cloud 9” and MARINA on “I Love You But I Love Me More.”
