Out of nowhere, The Raveonettes have released their seventh album ‘Pe’ahi‘, which is available to purchase now over at iTunes.
The ten-track album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and follows 2012’s ‘Observator‘. Of the new songs, opener ‘Endless Sleeper‘ has been given a lyric video which can be seen below. Its inspiration has been described by Sune Rose Wagner thus:
“It’s about a horrific near-drowning experience I had in Hawaii some years ago. It’s about taking risks in order to exist. The song features a lot of recurring musical ideas of Pe’ahi such as Old Skool breakbeats, exaggerated dynamics, unconventional song structures, staccato guitar picking, intense layered vocals, etc.”
Pe’ahi tracklist:
‘Endless Sleeper’
‘Sisters’
‘Killer In The Streets’
‘Wake Me Up’
‘Z-Boys’
‘A Hell Below’
‘The Rains of May’
‘Kill!’
‘When Night Is Almost Done’
