Human Ceremony

(Fat Possum)
US: 5 Feb 2015

Sunflower Bean is a New York band with three kids in it. It’s easy to dispute how “New York” they are and to dispute that they’re really “kids.” What’s not up for debate is that the band’s debut album, Human Ceremony, displays a freshness only achievable through particularly diverse roots. Sometimes Julia Cumming’s vocals sound like Juliana Hatfield; sometimes Nick Kivlen’s vocals sound like Jeff Tweedy. When Kivlen’s guitar rises to the untamed heights of twinkly, Jacob Farber’s drums tamp the rhythm back down to rock and roll reality.

Human Ceremony will lend a terrifically mellow vibe to a backyard barbecue, but it also might be really good soundtrack to cleaning the house. Spacey and ephemeral on the one hand, yet fierce and wild on the other, what Human Ceremony makes clear above all else is that the tip of Sunflower Bean’s iceberg is already pretty sharp. This is a thoughtful trio built on a range of interests, such that their subsequent albums are likely to surprise. They could go in a metal direction; they could fiddle around with synthesizers; they could find themselves on a stadium tour.

PopMatters sat down with bassist and co-vocalist Julia Cumming to try to put a

Massive Californian gas leak frightens climate scientists

According to a study in Science, a natural gas well in the Aliso Canyon released more than 100,000 tons of a strong greenhouse gas called methane, which has 25 times the warming energy of carbon dioxide. This gas leak has been called one of the largest leaks ever recorded, lasting an entire 112-day period. The leak caused the evacuation of 11,000 people after the governor declared a state of emergency.

Lead researchers from the University of California, Davis were studying the methane cloud formed from the leak in an airplane with specialized equipment. The researchers actually flew through the methane clouds, incurring rough turbulence and some of “the worst flights” the researchers “have ever done,” according to Stephen Conley, an atmospheric scientist at the University of California, Davis.

However, many researchers became ill from the unpleasant fumes of the gas and were unable to continue boarding the plane. The study revealed that the gas leak added an additional 9 percent to the annual methane emissions in California, which will impact the state’s ability to meet their target level of greenhouse emissions this year.

Memory, intelligence individualized among spectrum of humans

A team of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found a novel way to measure the way brains differ between people and give rise to different personalities. The cognitive neuroscientists collected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from participants, who were also administered a series of cognitive and fitness tests.

The researchers looked
