About The Raveonettes

Formed in Copenhagen in 2001, The Raveonettes have carved a distinctive niche in the indie rock landscape. The duo, comprising the striking Sharin Foo and the prolific Sune Rose Wagner, are renowned for their unique blend of surf rock’s reverb-drenched guitars, the raw energy of garage rock, and an undeniable knack for crafting irresistible pop melodies. Their sonic palette is often painted with shades of the 60s girl groups, Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, and the darker, moodier undertones of bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain. This potent combination has resulted in a discography brimming with critically acclaimed albums and a devoted international following.

From their inception, The Raveonettes have maintained a commitment to stylistic consistency while continuously evolving their sound. Their early work, including their debut EP Wig in a Box (2001) and the album Chain Gang of Love (2003), established their signature sound with tracks like the infectious “Attack of the Killer Bees” and the brooding “That Film Though.” Subsequent releases saw them further refine their art. Pretty in Black (2005) offered anthems such as the darkly alluring “My Tornado,” while Lust, Queen of the Sound (2007) continued to explore their signature blend of fuzz and pop. The band’s dedication to their aesthetic is further exemplified by their ambitious “Epic Rainbows” project, where they released a new song every month for a year, culminating in the album Observatorie (2012) and its companion Pe’ahi (2014). Their most recent offering, 2016 American Dream, solidified their enduring appeal, showcasing their ability to still deliver potent, guitar-driven tunes with Foo’s distinctive vocals and Wagner’s expertly crafted melodies. The Raveonettes have consistently delivered a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, making them a timeless force in alternative music.
