Pretty In Black

Description

the second long duration, the Danish duo is finally free from all stylistic corsets and finally embraces all its influences.
leaving behind the pure energy and the perfect wedding of garage rock and jesus & mary chain that characterized his previous works, "pretty in black" heads towards all the small obsessions and clues that previously appeared in his work, exploring his love for the early rock of the 1950s but also for the small pop symphonies of producers like phil spector u jack nitzsche.

the solarenga pop of the matinee idols of the 1960s and the surf music and the punk of the 1970s, counting for this with the participation of obvious idols such as ronnie spector, mo tucker of the underground velvet u alan vega of the Suicide. In short, the most complete and risky record of a band that leaves behind its dirty but exciting black-and-white film to enter a whole new world of glorious technicolour.

Artist

Danish rock 'n' roll duo consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (on guitar, instrumentation and male vocals) and Sharin Foo (on bass and female vocals). Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50s and 60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content.
The duo met in Copenhagen and began recording "Whip It On", on which they handled all production chores by themselves. Adding guitarist Manoj Ramdas and jazz drummer Jakob Hoyer, the Raveonettes booked one of their first gigs at the SPOT festival in Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark.
"Whip It On" was elected "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards 2003, and The Raveonettes were picked as being among the harbingers of the "Next Wave" of contemporary music.
The band is incidentally very big fans of Fender instruments.
