Black Satin
The Raveonettes Lyrics
Sun explodes on my skin
I don't like the state I'm in
Trying to catch the perfect wave
It's coming now, come on let's rave
But I drown, yeah I drown
Out all day, all in vain
Pale skin, sun causes pain
The water's cold, deep, and black
Down again, board's cracked
Look who's here to save my soul
Sweet night, she's on a roll
Covers me with all her black
Satin dress, takes me aback
And I drown, yeah I drown

The Raveonettes is an indie rock/shoegaze/noise pop duo formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2001. Comprising Sune Rose Wagner (guitar, instruments, vocals), formerly of Psyched Up Janis, and Sharin Foo (guitar and vocals), their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmony inspired by The Everly Brothers, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise.

The name, The Raveonettes, is a direct reference to The Ronettes, and Buddy Holly's song Rave On!.
Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50s and 60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content, similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground. Altogether, they sound very much like a slightly more melodic version of The Jesus and Mary Chain.

On April 4th, 2011, they released "Raven in the Grave", a nine-track studio album with Vice Records. It's their 5th studio album.
From their site bio:
“I think we have finally hit on something quite important and different for this album,” explains Sune. “This is the first Raveonettes album we've done which doesn't feature the signature Raveonettes surf drumbeat. None of the tunes have any real sunshine to them. It’s all very un-Rave.”
“It has a mood of ethereal defiance” Sharin adds. “It’s dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It’s the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring”.

They come to Madrid in two weeks..I can´t hardly wait..! they are so "young and beautiful" that make me "blush" in "hallucinations" and "lust", and I could "beat the city" in a "last dance"! (these are my favourite songs)! kiko

My best friend and I have done that too. We didn't talk for a year once, and music was what reunited us.
