As you may have noticed last week, The Raveonettes’ Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo recently sat down to record discussions of every song on their Vice Records debut, Lust Lust Lust. The duo touched on the writing, recording, pitfalls, and successes of each of the album’s twelve tracks. Last week, the mini-interviews were premiered throughout the blogosphere on Brooklyn Vegan, My Old Kentucky Blog, The Tripwire, Chromewaves, You Ain’t No Picasso, and The Music Slut. Currently they’re all available on You Tube.

The Raveonettes’ highly-anticipated Vice debut is currently streaming in its entirety on the band’s Myspace page. Lust Lust Lust, due out February 19th, features the Danish duo of Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo eschewing past records’ boney directness for a skuzzier, darker sonic palette. Listen to the impressive results now.

Yesterday, Rollinstone.com ran a glowing preview of the Raveonettes’ Lust Lust Lust. The feature came along with another remix of “Dead Sound,” a standout from the band’s February 19th Vice Records debut. This take comes courtesy of The Dandy Warhol's Peter Holmstrom, and The Village Green's Jeremey Sherrer. The duo’s mix slyly tweaks the track’s trademark boney guitar lead and slings it over a buoyant synth-pop bounce. They throw in a propulsive bass line and suddenly “Dead Sound” becomes a fist-pumper. Who knew?

Vice Music is ecstatic to announce their newest signing, The Raveonettes. With three critically acclaimed releases under their belt and over 170,000 records sold in the US, the Danish rock duo will release Lust Lust Lust in early 2008, with a US tour to follow.
The Raveonettes' Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo met in Copenhagen in 2001 and recorded their first EP, Whip it On. Soon after, Rolling Stone's David Fricke discovered them at Denmark's SPOT festival and his high praise gained the attention of major labels and magazines. Chain Gang of Love, the band's first full-length record, was released in 2003 and the follow up, Pretty in Black, in 2005.
The Raveonettes are recognized and praised for their signature blend of two part harmonies, lo-fi garage sound and 60s noir aesthetic. Comparisons have been drawn to everyone from the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Velvet Underground and Suicide to Buddy Holly, the Shangri-Las and Ronnie Spektor. In 2003, the Raveonettes' won a Danish Music Award when Whip It On was named "Best Album of the Year".
