User Album Review
All the landmarks of a Raveonettes record are here; distortion, the three-note guitar solos and the sense of irrepressible pop. The naivety of Chain Gang of Love remains untouched but then again so does its entire basic formula - though that’s not purely a bad thing.
This record is borne from the depression Sune felt as a result of ‘not being able to put his socks on in the morning’ after injuring his back, after ditching the chaos of New York for the LA sun, Sune found the inspiration that informed the blessed-out vibes of ‘Young and Cold’. Shout along vocals are joined by thrashed out chords on a battered old acoustic. ---- drownedinsound.com
