The Raveonettes - Lust, Lust, Lust

Denmark’s royal couple of retro-pop returns with their sinfully twisted take on Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound. Dispensing with novelty (their first albums featured three-minute songs all written in either B-flat minor or B-flat major), Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner concentrate here on crafting haunting classics like “Aly, Walk with Me.” Hints of Buddy Holly (“Hallucinations”) and the Shangri-las (“Blitzed”) still persist, but the artful pair now prefers the eroticism of dark bubblegum like “You Want the Candy.”
