Sex Week is an American duo consisting of Richard Orofino and Pearl Amanda Dickson, emerging from the Brooklyn indie scene in the early 2020s. Their sound is characterized by a 'non-traditional' approach to indie rock, blending elements of shoegaze, folk, and experimental pop.
The project began serendipitously through a shared playlist, a fact that reflects the curated, collaborative nature of their songwriting. Their discography, including EPs like 'Upper Mezzanine' and 'Sex Week', showcases a production style that favors analog warmth and intentional noise over studio polish. Critically, they are noted for their 'double-entendre' aesthetic, managing to be both lighthearted and deeply vulnerable. They occupy a cultural space similar to the 'indie sleaze' revival but with a more introspective, bedroom-pop focus. Their influence web connects back to 90s lo-fi pioneers like Guided by Voices and the distorted pop sensibilities of The Breeders, while remaining firmly rooted in the modern DIY landscape alongside peers like Wishy and Slow Fiction.
