What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

The Raveonettes continue with their world domination with a new 7" on Fierce Panda. An extremely bold sentence I'm sure you'll agree. Not content with blinding us with their 3D sleeved album last week (the headache has only just started to subside...) here's a 7" called 'Dead Sound' which starts off quite twee before it hits familiar Raveonettes territory.... i.e Mary Chain/ Phil Spector sounding pop music. It's pretty good actually. I've not really liked much by them before but this I'll happily admit to quite liking this (it took 2 listens though...)

What the label says:

THE RAVEONETTES CONSIST OF SUNE ROSE WAGNER (GUITAR/VOCALS) AND SHARIN FOO (GUITAR/VOCALS), BORN AND BRED IN DENMARK SUNE NOW LIVES IN NEW YORK WHILE SHARIN HAS RELOCATED TO LOS ANGELES.
THE BOY/GIRL DUO WHO MADE THEIR SLEAZY NAME WITH THE LEATHERCLAD CLAMPOP OF THE 'CHAIN GANG OF LOVE' AND 'PRETTY IN BLACK' ALBUMS. THIRD LONGPLAYER 'LUST LUST LUST' - RELEASED ON FIERCE PANDA ON NOVEMBER 12TH - FINDS THEM IN A REFLECTIVELY ROCKING STATE OF MIND, FREED FROM THE SHACKLES OF THEIR SONY DEAL, AND FIRST SINGLE 'DEAD SOUND' FITS THAT MOOD PEFECTLY, MIXING THEIR LOVE OF OLD SCHOOL RIFFS WITH MODERN DAY ALTERNATIVE SENSIBILITIES.
THEY PLAYED A SOLD OUT SHOW AT WEST LONDON'S BUSH HALL IN SEPTEMBER. A LOUCHE BLEND OF COOL NEW CUTS AND POUNDING CLASSICS ENTERTAINED A CROWD SCATTERED WITH TROOPS FROM THE RAKES, THE HORRORS AND ART BRUT AND A STEREOLAB COVER VERSION DISPLAYED IMPECCABLE TASTE AS WELL AS A FINE EAR FOR A MOTORIK GROOVE.
