Shit, I just did so much writing. A few seconds ago I finished a 1,000-word article. Naturally, the first thing I’m doing is writing a blog post. Bathroom and food later.
Last week, when I wrote an Exclaim! article about Raven in the Grave, the new album by the Raveonettes, the band promised that it would be “one of those albums that makes you wanna blow your brains out.” Well, there’s nothing too dark and depressing about the lead single, “Forget That You’re Young,” which pairs slow-burning beats with chiming guitar leads and daydream vocal melodies.
Originality has never been the Raveonettes’ strong suit, as they’ve spent pretty much their whole career aping the distorted pop sounds of the Jesus & Mary Chain. Still, at least they do it well, and this track is no exception.
