Let's Dance

Sugarplum FairiesSugarplum Fairies
Genre: Indie / Down-tempo / Folk Rock From: Los Angeles, California, United States


The Sugarplum Fairies are an Los Angeles based indie pop/rock duo who mix hushed, melancholic English-language female vocals with jangly, often acoustic guitars over spare folk-rock productions.

Comprised of Vienna natives Silvia Ryder (vocals) and Ben Bohm (guitar, background vocals), the Sugarplum Fairies draw influence from French cultural icons such as Françoise Hardy, Anna Karina, and Jean-Luc Godard, as well as the Velvet Underground, John Lennon, and Lee Hazlewood.

Sugarplum Fairies’ latest release Chinese Leftovers veers from sleepy shoegaze pop to bouncy D.I.Y. indie rock, all with a subtle infusion of country-noir and the occasional hint of eclectic Vaudeville.

If the Cowboy Junkies and the Raveonettes were locked together in a cupboard with nothing but an acoustic guitar a bottle of cheap wine and well thumbed copy of the Belle & Sebastian biography they'd end up as the Sugarplum Fairies.
