The Raveonettes Announce New Album ‘Observator’

The Raveonettes, aka Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner, have revealed plans to self-release a new album this September through their own label Beat Dies Records.

The Danish duo’s new album, which also marks their ten year anniversary, will be called ‘Observator’ and is expected on 10th September 2012.

The new LP was recorded at the Sunset Sound Studios with Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Go-Gos, Richard Hell), who previously worked with The Raveonettes on their ‘Pretty In Black’ album.

An slightly different sound is expected this time around, with Sune quoted as saying of the record, “It was during these sessions that a new dimension to the Raveonettes began to develop; it’s the first time we’ve ever used the piano and what a glorious, gloomy sound it makes. We knew immediately that it was something we needed to expand on. But make no mistake; Observator is still a gorgeous guitar album.”

No tour plans or tracklisting have yet been revealed.
