Set for an april 5th release on Vice Records
New Track "FORGET THAT YOU'RE YOUNG" Now Avaiable for free download
The Raveonettes Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner are excited to announce the release of their new album "Raven In The Grave," out April 5th on Vice Records. After the best part of a decade honing their instantly recognizable sound and seeing it co-opted by so many other bands aspiring for a similar level of greatness, the Danish-bred, American-based fuzz pop duo is blazing a newer, darker trail with the compelling "Raven In The Grave."
"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".
To get fans excited, The Raveonettes are offering the achingly-beautiful new song "Forget That You're Young" for free download at http://www.viceland.com/vicerecords/download/the_raveonettes-forget_that_youre_young.mp3
It doesn't take long to hear how the band has superseded their traditional sound. Of course, melody is still key to what the Raveonettes do, but the familiar bombastic beats and squalls of guitar-noise take a backseat during much of "Raven In The Grave." Instead, the album is awash with ghostly synths and chillingly beautiful riffs that leave you feeling simultaneously unsettled and enchanted. It's easily the most soulful music the duo has created to date.

Why is their production always so crappy?
