8 Tracks: The Raveonettes

Music

The Raveonettes have readied an album of loud, loud surf riffs, dark rock n' roll and crashing caverns of drum. Taking cues from the noise assault of Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, and stirring in the vibe of every film that ever featured a prom queen getting murdered, 'Pe'Ahi' – named after a Hawaiian surfing mecca – is a genuinely great record, and had us wondering why we don't hear more of this sort of thing. We asked Sune from the band to put us together a playlist of killer surf guitar cuts, and he decided to give us 8 Tracks that are just plain sexy instead. Seeing as we haven't just written a blinder of an album, who are we to argue…
