The Raveonettes New album ‘Pe’ahi’

The Raveonettes are thrilled to offer fans their new album ‘Pe’ahi’ today on the 22nd of July, on the day of its announcement. Recorded in an early 20th century downtown apartment building in Los Angeles, ‘Pe’ahi’ is a wonderfully stylized amalgam of melody and noise that sees Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo explore arrangements that don’t adhere to standard rock and roll scripture, and flirt with arcane instrumentation and orchestral themes.

“This album is a huge leap forward both sonically and musically for us. We incorporated new ideas into each song such as choirs, harps, digital bit crushing, rhythmic changes, unconventional song structures, different ways of singing, staccato, machine gun guitar picking, and a somewhat schizophrenic universe. A very important element to this album is how each song consists of many different parts, not your usual verse chorus verse, etc. It’s a very significant and surprising feature.”

“We made a conscious decision to not have any ballads on this album. We wanted it to roar like Pe’ahi. This album would only have been possible to make on the West Coast. Sun, surf, the Pacific, vast spaces yet a sense of isolation. No distractions. 12 hours working days for 4 months straight.”
