The Raveonettes - Raven In The Grave (Vice)
That title and the emblematic corvid on the sleeve might suggest a band reconnecting with their darkest core. So it’s disappointing when ‘Recharge & Revolt’ invokes little more revolutionary than the wet spirit of TPOBPAH. It’s only one...
The Raveonettes
The A-side of this seven-inch is a business-as-posily-usual cut from their last album - so far, so good. But the flip is called ‘Black/White’, a song the duo produced for, of all things, Gap’s Spring 2009 collection. Yup, you heard...
The Raveonettes
The Nordic Jack’n’Meg return, and by the sound of it they’ve spent the last three years locked in a deep freeze without any contact with the outside world. How else to explain ‘Dead Sound’, a garage rock romp that throbs and twinkles in...
The Raveonettes
We always knew that The Raveonettes hid a delightfully seedy side behind their surf-pop shimmer, but the sense of carnal urge and subsequent mental anguish that dominates ‘Lust Lust Lust’ makes for a shocking, yet completely enthralling...
The Raveonettes : Pretty In Black
Like the nu-noir of Sin City, The Raveonettes’ sound has always been monochromatic, achingly sexy and chock-full of menace. But although the Danish duo couldn’t be faulted on attitude, they never truly delivered on the promise of their...
The Raveonettes/Dogs : Norwich Arts...
The Raveonettes are standing stock still. They’re also producing an awesome, growing wave of surf guitar runs, ’60s pop vocals and Mary Chain fuzz. Right now, Denmark’s finest are stars of their own B-movie, promising dirty...
The Raveonettes : That Great Love Sound
Not-before-time rerelease When this single was first released last August, it got to Number 34. "How supremely rubbish," everyone must have thought. And yet! How also-very-fortunate: if it'd been any sort of proper hit then we might not now be...
The Raveonettes/Har Mar Superstar/Delays/The...
Sex was the word at the Astoria tonight. No matter what your taste, this diverse four-way bill was built to heat up the grey London February night. The Duke Spirit kicked off the crowded evening with a lusty wall of noise that will surely...
The Raveonettes : Heartbreak Stroll/Christmas Song
Breaking exciting new ground for The Raveonettes, new single 'Heartbreak Stroll' makes a brave, bold, potentially foolhardy leap out of B minor - the key in which last year’s debut, 'Whip It On', was stuck. Not wishing to alienate us altogether...
The Raveonettes : Beat City
Like a Dogme musical about fictional biker gangs set in Denmark, the Raveonettes exist high on the window-ledge of self-parody. A fearsome splurge of distorted guitars, droning drums and lyrics swiped from Bobby Gillespie's teenage diaries, it...
