""Woven through reflections on post-breakup sadness, 'Already Taken' captures the feelings of trying to cope with someone's absence," Amy explains. The track's origins are deeply personal, written alongside friends while Amy navigated a recent breakup and even the loss of her first car, an experience she describes as akin to losing a first love. The addition of her brother Laurie's piano on the track elevates its emotional resonance, making it a comforting piece amid the sorrow."
"Sunflower Thieves gained recognition for their craft with their debut EP, "Someone To Be There For," released in 2022, followed by "Same Blood" in 2024. Touring alongside artists like Tors and Dan Croll, they are now set to embark on their own UK headline tour, kicking off in York on April 22, with stops in Manchester, Edinburgh, Brighton, London, and Birmingham."
Sunflower Thieves are a Leeds-based alt folk-pop duo composed of childhood friends Amy Illingworth and Lily Sturt-Bolshaw. 'Already Taken' captures post-breakup sadness and the effort to cope with someone's absence, drawing from Amy's recent breakup and the symbolic loss of her first car. The track features piano from Amy's brother Laurie, heightening its emotional resonance. The music video, directed by Nick Porter, channels early 2000s nostalgia and documents intimate recovery and creativity in Amy's childhood bedroom. The duo released EPs in 2022 and 2024, toured with Tors and Dan Croll, and will headline a UK tour beginning in York.
