Beach Bunny, the Chicago four-piece led by Lili Trifilio, have finally shared their long-awaited sophomore album. Emotional Creature is out today via Mom+Pop.
Emotional Creature was largely informed by Trifilio’s love of sci-fi stories and the Y2K pop of her childhood idols like the Jonas Brothers. The Artist of the Month alums recorded the follow-up to their 2020 debut Honeymoon at Chicago’s Shirk Studios with producer Sean O’Keefe, known for work with pop-punk legends like Fall Out Boy and Motion City Soundtrack.
“We are always changing, growing, and adapting — it’s a deeply ingrained part of the human experience,” Trifilio wrote in a statement. “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.”
