I've already mentioned this, but it bears repeating: The Raveonettes fourth album In And Out Of Control taps a J&MC/Phil Spector/Distortion hybrid, but it's Stephin Merritt I think of most because of the cheekily dark lyrics in "Suicide," "Boys Who...

Sonically, the Raveonettes forthcoming fourth album In And Out Of Control reminds me of Jesus & Mary Chain, Phil Spector, and Magnetic Fields' Distortion in equal measure. (As far as the darkly cheeky lyrics go, it's pure Merritt.) You can... CONTINUE READING NEW RAVEONETTES - "LAST DANCE"»

The Raveonettes fourth album In And Out Of Control finds the Danish duo in a particularly poppy mood musically, while pushing the lyrical content into darker corners. As the band's male half Sune Rose Wagner put it: It's a strange... CONTINUE READING NEW RAVEONETTES - "SUICIDE"»

Sune directed this vid for the clanging, heavily reverbed girl-group melodies of "You Want The Candy," featuring still photos, concert footage, other b&w ephemera. If you think you see a girl snorting coke in it, you're right (at 1:10). If you think it's Sharin, you're wrong. There's no graceful segue from there, so, just know you can stream Lust, Lust, Lust in its entirety at MySpace. And don't do drugs.

Gap is launching an online advertising campaign featuring music by the Raveonettes, Dntel, Swizz Beatz, the Blakes and Marie Digby, with each writing a song inspired by a particular color, "in the hopes of stirring up some viral music video mojo among its younger customers." We'll watch for the Raveonettes and Jimmy Tamborello, but if you really want a video to go viral these days you need Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Ed from Live. Even will.i.am knows that.
