Spunsugar

Biography

Growing up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound.

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences based in Malmö, Sweden. The trio has different musical backgrounds which has led media to express praise for their elaboration and new take on the nature of the shoegaze sound, incorporating both pop, goth and electronic elements. After an EP and some introductory singles they 2020 released their thunderous and anthemic debut album ”Drive-Through Chapel” via Adrian Recordings (Alice Boman, This Is Head etc). The album put them on the map as one of the most exciting bands coming out of the scene and Scandinavia, with media support from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6Music, The Independent, The Line of Best Fit, Nothing but Hope and Passion and much more.

“If we were to list our favorite discoveries of the year, Sweden’s Spunsugar would likely be on it. The trio of Elin Ramstedt, Cordelia Moreau, and Felix Sjöström are a bridge to the past and the present. Their music is entrenched in the classic sounds of early ’90s shoegaze and layered with the harsh tones of contemporary post-punk.”
The Revue

“Spunsugar combines celestial shoegaze with a harrowing subject.”
The Line of Best Fit

”Spunsugar’s dark, exciting and head on take on shoegaze, and comprise an overall strong debut which has broken new ground for the band’s future.”
