Raven in the Grave

The Raveonettes

A stark departure into gothic shoegaze. Slow-motion walls of sound and icy harmonies create a cinematic, wintery funeral for the band's garage-rock past.

It's the sound of a beautiful funeral held in a snowstorm.

A profound, icy stillness that feels like mourning in a beautiful, desolate landscape.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, slow-motion guitar swell that opens Recharge & Revolt, setting a tone of epic desolation.
The way the male-female harmonies in Apparitions seem to float like ghosts over a skeletal drum beat.
The sudden, sharp burst of noise that punctuates the otherwise fragile melody of Ignite.
