Florida’s own SUNBEARS! (that’s their band name, I’m not yelling at you) have finally been touring this great USA with their new album You Will Live Forever. Seriously, it’s about time.

You Will Live Forever is a playful display of psychedelic pop music for the non-cynical crowd. Songs like The Uncertainty Paradigm are covered in 60s influence, with echo-chamber voices, intentionally over-compressed drums, and a positivity that is hard to dismiss.
