Beach Bunny Announce Emotional Creature, Share “Fire Escape”
Photo by Artimio Blackburn
Beach Bunny’s back, baby. The Chicago-based quartet led by songwriter Lili Trifilio have announced their much-anticipated sophomore album Emotional Creature, coming July 22 on Mom + Pop Music. New single “Fire Escape” follows 2021’s “Oxygen,” two of 12 new tracks on the band’s Honeymoon follow-up, which was written “immediately prior to and during” the pandemic, per a press release, and produced by Sean O’Keefe (Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack) at Chicago’s Shirk Studios.
Trifilio says of Emotional Creature in a statement:
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.
