Those Fuckers Stay In Your Head

Flossy Danish duo Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo aka The Raveonettes, have just released the first single from their upcoming, fourth studio album. Titled ‘Suicide’, it’s a very European sounding pop song, sitting somewhere between the bouncy guitar rhythms of ‘Love In A Trash Can’ and the lighter shoegaze moments of ‘Black Satin’. It’s a fascinating wee song, finding its charms in all the wrong places.

There have been rumblings about the unholy union of Oliver Ackerman - the main noise man of A Place to Bury Strangers and the mad scientist behind Death by Audio pedals - and Richard Fearless - one half of the legendary electro psych outfit Death in Vegas - for over a year now.  Fearless has said that he was inspired to add some primal Stooges danger to the powerful yet detached crush of APTBS’ sound.  With the edition of some of NY’s most inspiring musical members and the loss of Ackerman physically, though not sonically, Black Acid found its own identity and mission.  Fronting a band that can melt your face off but leave you panting for more, Fearless led the group on a tour with the Raveonettes in 08 and heads to SXSW this year to titillate the masses.  Today, check out slow-burner "F.U.R." and the 74mix re-interpretation, replacing Fearless’ suggestive baritone with driving synths.
