Keep a spare pair of black jeans out of the laundry—The Raveonettes are this way a-coming.
The Danish garage rock duo (who've been riding a particularly black wave on their past couple studio efforts… no complaints here) will celebrate their 10th anniversary this fall with the release of Observator, their sixth album to date and first since last year's fantastic Raven In The Grave (our review). Working again with producer Richard Gottehrer (he helmed the group's 2005 break-out, Pretty In Black), The Raveonettes recorded their latest batch of songs at the iconic Sunset Sound studios in Hollywood… a longtime ambition of Sune Rose Wagner's.
"Some of my favorite albums are from there," he recently told SPIN. "As part of the band's 10-year anniversary I wanted to do something special. So I insisted on us going there. I did not regret that at all. I think if we had not gone there the album would be very different and not as good as it is now."
"I've always worked like that," he added, describing a tumultuous three-day bender that occurred during the recording sessions. "I try to channel [drinking] into something creative. I write down simple words for lyrics, song titles, anything. Or it can be actual stories."
That sounds like the Sune Rose we know and love, right? Sounds like that black wave isn't going anywhere just yet…
Observator hits record stores and playlists in the U.S. on September 11.
