The Raveonettes: Lust Lust Lust
The Raveonettes are a two piece band from Denmark. The Raveonettes are noted for their repetitive style on their albums with “Whip It On” And “Chain Gang Of Love” being played in the same chord throughout the album.
Despite their repetitiveness, the Raveonettes were able to catch my attention with their style of aggressive rock and have created some of my favorite singles out in recent years. If you have not heard about the Raveonettes I probably would describe them as a band with a mix of pretty good male/female with harder sound that you typically won’t hear with duets. Most refer to Jesus And Mary Chain Chain as a common band that this band sounds like.
The Raveonettes are not actually an indie band. They have been signed to Sony all the way throughout the beginning of their career until recently. For me this doesn’t matter at all but it’s interesting that I find them more to be the hit producing type rather then the type to release masterpieces. This is actually what I would expect out of a mainstream band but the Raveonettes seem to grab the attention of indie bloggers just as much. The Raveonettes are releasing “Lust Lust Lust” on Fierce Panda Records which is a Indie record company based in the UK.
“Lust, Lust, Lust” is like their past albums to me. Very indistinguishable between songs but with some good tunes here and there. This is probably nothing special and there is nothing else for me to say. I love the Raveonettes just not so much when I’m forced to listen to a set of songs and not the ones I like so much about them. This gets a 3 out of 5 from me. Exactly what you would expect out of the Ravonettes, repetitive but catchy here and there. I actually see this one getting shelled by critics.
