Seeing as how they recruited none other than Richard Gottehrer, songwriter of the immortal “I Want Candy” (and producer of the debut albums by Blondie and the Go-Go’s), to produce their own 2003 full-length debut, Chain Gang of Love, Denmark’s the Raveonettes invite comparison to another candy giant: the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. But the proverbial chocolate and peanut butter here is not the duo of Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner (though they do go great together); rather, its their genius melding of the giddy, early rock ’n’ roll innocence of Buddy Holly and the Ronettes with the searing, distortion-drenched noise rock of the Velvet Underground at its most prickly and the Jesus & Mary Chain at its loudest. The fuzz-laden, hooky Chain Gang of Love delivered fully on the thrilling promise of the Raveonettes’ 2002 Whip It On EP, while 2005’s Pretty in Black scaled back on the noise in favor of an understated but wickedly cool, noirish pop vibe. Foo and Wagner returned louder than ever with last year’s Lust Lust Lust, though, delivering what Slant hailed as a “sleazy pop masterpiece.” Rave on, indeed.
