While listening to the shimmering new nine-song Raveonettes album, we follow along as head Raver Sune Rose Wagner describes, in an attached press document, the influences on its creation. These include the hope and despair of an ill-fated move to Los Angeles, the pull of chemical distractions and subsequent depression, the sound of the sea and inspiration from The Doors. As if the Everly Brothers channeled Norma Desmond, Observator is the sweet sound of summertime sadness.
