Sugarplum Fairies

Sugarplum Fairies are a Los Angeles-based indie duo known for their dreamy, retro-tinged sound that blends folk, country, and lo-fi rock. Formed in the late '90s by Austrian-born vocalist Sylvia Ryder and German multi-instrumentalist Ben Bohm, the band crafts hazy, introspective tunes that channel the vibe of 1960s psychedelia and 1990s alt-rock. Their discography—including releases like *Altar Songs 1998-2021* and *Sunday, Suddenly*—showcases their knack for poetic lyrics and dusty, cinematic arrangements, earning comparisons to acts like Mazzy Star and The Velvet Underground.

With a DIY ethos and a cult following, Sugarplum Fairies have quietly built a catalog of moody, atmospheric gems over two decades. Albums like *Godspeed & Silver Linings* and *Chinese Leftovers* highlight their knack for blending jangly guitars, whispered vocals, and a touch of alt-country twang. Their music has popped up in TV shows and films, adding to their offbeat charm as purveyors of "introspective raincoat student music" (a phrase cheekily borrowed for one of their album titles).
