"Skin Unwell talks about a paradox that only few people have experienced. A feeling of being annoyingly clever but at the same time being three steps behind - always."

Skin Unwell talks about a paradox that only few people have experienced. A feeling of being annoyingly clever but at the same time being three steps behind - always. A bitter nostalgia from someone lamenting how they carved in their school desk to the sound of grown-ups saying "you'd do great if you'd only apply yourself". The sound image is still very Spunsugaresque with those intersections of rugged and soft, emphasis and stillness. Spunsugars signature contrast remains in quick changes from more polished guitars to fuzzy riffs. Different pulses from the bass and the drum machines rest on top of each other. A reflection of a dull and sluggish life rushing before someone's eyes.
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.

Skin that I can't figure out
Tattoos that they all did on me
starts to peel off you see
Some gets them to the blood and bone
Some get theirs carved and stoned

“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.”

“Spunsugar combines celestial shoegaze with a harrowing subject.”

”Drive-Through Chapel” is a pulsating album with lots of highs. Impeccable basslines and intoxicating lyrics are the chemistry that bring forth such a truly enjoyable album.”
