Ruby Haunt

Ruby Haunt (formerly known as Haunt) is an American musical project conceived by childhood friends Wyatt Ininns and Victor Pakpour sometime in 2015. The duo wrote their first three EPs while in school via opposite ends of the West Coast (Los Angeles and Portland), exchanging musical ideas over email. In this time they received support from Nowness, Track + Field Records, C-Heads Magazine, and various tastemaking YouTube channels for their unique songwriting and self-produced music videos. Ruby Haunt have been steadily churning out sublime melancholic dream-pop and autumnal slowcore music since releasing their 2015 debut Hurt. In 2016 the boys saw a move to L.A. where they wrote their LP Sugar, their first written together in a small ocean front house in Laguna Beach, California. Sugar was self-released in October 2016, featuring collaborations with the renowned photographer Henrik Purienne, and film duo Wissa for their Roberto Cavali campaign in Vogue Italia. While they've made some tweaks to their introspective sound over the years, Ruby Haunt's music and steadfast DIY approach has attracted a devoted audience through their hypnotic blend of hushed vocals, expressive guitars, slow-burning arrangements, and an intimate yet widescreen touch. At the end of March 2026, the band are set to release an expanded 10 year anniversary album Sugar (Deluxe). with two bonus tracks and a limited edition deluxe vinyl. .
