The Raveonettes Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner are set to release their new album Raven In The Grave out April 5th on Vice Records. Raven In The Grave is going down a darker path for the band. “I think we have finally hit on something quite important and different for this album,” explains Sune. “This is the first Raveonettes album we’ve done which doesn’t feature the signature Raveonettes surf drumbeat. None of the tunes have any real sunshine to them. It’s all very un-Rave.” “It has a mood of ethereal defiance,” Sharin adds. “It’s dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It’s the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring.” Have a listen to “Forget That You’re Young” below.
