It consists of band members Cordelia Moreau, Elin Ramstedt and Felix Sjöström.
Cordelia Moreau and Elin Ramstedt met each other at the age of thirteen in the village they grew up in.
[3] Spunsugar combines the dense texture of shoegaze with the depressing and pulsating character of post-punk.
Clear influences are the jarring shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine, the gothic rock of The Cure, and the droning and bleakness of Joy Division.
[4] These darker elements and the cold, industrial instrumentation are contrasted with clear harmonies and the angelic singing of Elin Ramstedt.
These characteristics put Spunsugar at somewhat of a remove from classical shoegaze bands like Cocteau Twins or Slowdive.
The incorporation of styles like grunge and noise, as well as the electronic influences, place the band closer to acts like Curve, Swervedriver and Ringo Deathstarr.
[1] Their next EP, Things That I Confuse, was described by the band as 'dressed-down' and incorporating metal and country influences.
