Raveonettes Whip Up LP
Danish buzz band the Raveonettes will release their full-length
debut, Chain Gang of Love, on September 2nd. The album
follows the group’s acclaimed 2002 EP Whip It On, a twenty
minute collection of three minute, noirish garage rock songs
recorded entirely in B-flat minor, with no song featuring more than
three chords.
The duo — guitarist/vocalist Sune Rose Wagner and
bassist/vocalist Sharin Foo — recorded the album last fall and
winter with Wagner splitting production duty with Richard
Gottehrer, who has worked with Blondie, the Go-Go’s and Richard
Hell and the Voidoids. Wagner wrote twelve of the thirteen tracks,
and co-wrote one, “That Great Love Sound,” with Gottehrer.
The Raveonettes will return to the U.S. in September for a
twenty-three date tour that runs into mid-October.
