On Pretty In Black, Denmark’s The Raveonettes are out to shake up preconceptions that had them pegged as stripped-bare garage-rockers – an association perhaps not entirely unfair, given that they once recorded an EP entirely in Bb minor. Recorded with reverb boosted up high in an effective, if budget, approximation of Phil Spector’s Wall Of Sound production style, the likes of "Here Comes Mary" and "Seductress Of Burns" are lean, shimmering cuts of 60s Americana - pure pop bubblegum laced with razorblades.
That’s not the only hallmark of this record’s increased scope, however: guests including the Velvet Underground’s Maureen Tucker and Martin Rev of synth-punks Suicide are on hand to further bulk out the compositions, while Ronnie Spector, voice of key Raveonettes influence The Ronettes, adds backing vocals to one of the album’s stand-outs, "Ode To LA". Elsewhere, a cover of 60s girl-group The Angels’ "My Boyfriend’s Back" – in which a demure maiden threatens a would-by suitor with a beating from her recently-returned amour – is recreated, quite beautifully, on a tinny drum machine: proof that The Raveonettes can still turn out pop magic using the most primitive tools. --Louis Patterson
