Free Music Notes for Pretty in Black
Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 4 Stars
Those who've outgrown blasts of white noise and feedback at the beginning and end of each song may well enjoy this album more than the Raveonette's earlier material. I like all their stuff but I disagree with those who say this album is inferior because it's less raw. It's more mature, and it's excellent.
Pretty in Black Poster
UK version of their 2005 album features four exclusive bonus tracks, 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry', 'Everyday', 'Black Wave' and 'I Wanna Be Taken'. Danish duo The Raveonettes aka Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo return with their new album 'Pretty In Black'. The follow up to 2003's 'Chain Gang of Love'. 'Pretty In Black' is virtually fuzz-free, with stunning results. Wagner's deep affection for early rock & roll and girl-group bop comes through bright and clear, as do his glass-sheet harmonies with vocalist and co-founder Sharin Foo. Sony. 2005.Named in homage to Buddy Holly's greatest rocker, Denmark's Raveonettes have forged small, satisfying changes on twangy garage pop over three records. (Think somewhere between Chris Isaak and the Jesus and Mary Chain.) Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo's second full-length, Pretty in Black, makes the duo's influences even more explicit than before with a cover of the Angels'girl-group monster "My Boyfriend's Back" (co-written by Raveonettes co-producer Richard Gottehrer) and "Here Comes Mary," a ballad that walks almost as closely in the melodic steps of the Everly Brothers "All I Have to Do is Dream" as "Surfin' U.S.A." did those of "Sweet Little Sixteen." But it's the new tricks they unpack--the shimmy of "Love in a Trashcan," the disco stomp of "Twilight"--that make this their own music. --Rickey Wright
