Spunsugar, the Malmö-based shoegaze band, has masterfully blended classic and modern elements in their music, merging the gritty, dynamic sounds of the 90s with contemporary electronic, post-punk, and pop influences. Their sound is characterized by intense glide guitar, robust bass lines, and forceful drumming, creating a nostalgic yet fresh auditory experience. The band's lyrics weave a complex, darker narrative, inviting listeners into a world of introspection and mystique.
In their latest offering, "A Hole Forever," Spunsugar delves into profound themes, exploring the inner conflicts of darkness and shame. The album, according to the band, is an exploration of life's darker facets, the inevitability of aging, and the acceptance of one's inner demons. They describe it as a journey through life's pivotal moments, akin to a spiral rather than a linear progression, highlighting the existential notion that life is a gradual demise from birth.
Spunsugar, comprised of Cordelia Moreau, Elin Ramstedt, and Felix Sjöström, brings together a rich tapestry of musical backgrounds. Hailing from diverse upbringings in Sweden's rural areas and influenced by a range of artists from Cocteau Twins to the Misfits, they have crafted a unique sound that resonates with a broad audience. Their previous works, including the acclaimed "Drive-Through Chapel" and the EP "Things That I Confuse," have garnered attention from notable platforms like BBC Radio 6 Music and The Independent.
Marking a significant milestone in their journey, Spunsugar is set to release "A Hole Forever" on 17th November 2023 under Adrian Recordings. The album promises to continue their exploration of complex themes, reflecting on life's harsh realities and the introspective process of confronting internal struggles. With their latest single "Skin Unwell" already setting a precedent, the album is eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike, poised to add a new chapter to the band's evolving story
