SUGARPLUM FAIRIES

INTROSPECTIVE RAINCOAT STUDENT MUSIC

Starfish Records

Silvia Ryder and Ben Bohm are Sugarplum Fairies. Their second release, INTROSPECTIVE RAINCOAT STUDENT MUSIC, is comprised of 16 delicate and vocally-driven tracks. Silvia Ryder showers the listener with gentle and dreamy vocals, while presenting reflective lyrics that would intrigue any curious soul. The entire album is laden with numerous instruments (piano, accordion, cello, upright bass, and tuba, to name a few), creating a comforting atmosphere. Moreover, a refreshing combination of rhythm acoustic and subtle electric guitar can be seen in several tracks, ("Touchdown or Fly", "Some Girl", and "Common Sense"). Sugarplum Fairies achieve a simple sound while leaving a complex feeling, ideal for a midnight drive on a lonely road.
