90s dreampop project Sugarplum Fairies, have returned with their new single “Heart Hell 2021,” along with the news, They’re releasing a new collection of songs, old and new, including remasters and a new track “Tears.” To announce, they’re sharing the single + official music video for “Heart Hell 2021” ft. Sid Simons (another iconic rockstar from NYC’s Beechwood and Girl Skin).

The album features collaborations with original Uncle Tupelo/Wilco drummer and producer Ken Coomer, late Mazzy Star drummer Keith Mitchell, Jebin Bruni (Public Image Ltd, Fiona Apple) on bass and keyboards, Joey Waronker (drummer for Beck and REM), Gus Seyffert (bassist for Beck, Norah Jones), cellist Martin Tillman (Elvis Costello, T Bone Burnett), and horn-section mastermind Danny T. Levin (Iggy Pop, Rilo Kiley) amongst many others.

““Heart Hell 2021” is a re-imagined, re-recorded version of a song that was released in 2011 when Sugarplum Fairies was still a duo.

Sid and I “met” via Instagram; I am a big fan of his band Girl Skin and vice versa. Due to the pandemic we ended up recording our vocal parts separately in our respective home studios in Los Angeles and Brooklyn. This arrangement was also the template for the video – the video was shot in Los Angeles and NYC on different VCR cameras and filmed off projections on a farm in Virginia by director Lael Neale.”
