  • Sugarplum Fairies are an indie dream pop duo based in Los Angeles who mix hushed, melancholic female vocals with European guitar pop and Americana folksiness. They are composed of Vienna natives Silvia Ryder (vocals) and Ben Bohm (guitars, background vocals) and supplemented by an array of rotating guest musicians. 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. Frequently mentioned as a point of comparison by critics, Mazzy Star, a similarly styled female-singer, male-guitarist duo from the 1990s, are also cited as an influence. The Sugarplum Fairies debuted in 1999 with Flake, released by Starfish Records. The duo's next two albums, Introspective Raincoat Student Music (2003) and Country International Records (2006), were also released by Starfish; notably, the latter album was produced in Nashville by Ken Coomer. The duo is currently working on their fourth studio album, titled Chinese Leftovers.
