There’s something to be admired about a band that willingly chooses to write an entire album all in one key—and not an easy one at that.
Danish rock duo the Raveonettes actually did that with their debut EP, Whip it On, which was made up of songs entirely written in B-flat minor. Sound gimmicky? You’re right—but this time, the gimmick was loud. Noisy. And not to mention: Actually good.
Fans of the Jesus and Mary Chain and the layered, swirly sounds of the shoegaze genre in general would be a natural fit for the Raveonettes. Consisting of Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo, the duo’s intense electric guitar provides a sharp contrast to the oddly calm co-ed duos. Throw in some pretty melodies and poppy hooks and you’ve got the Raveonettes. Enjoy.
The Raveonettes: Saturday, Nov. 14 at 8 p.m., $15. Glass House, 200 W. Second St., Pomona, 909.865.3802. All ages.
