Titlen på The Raveonettes nye album, der ud af nærmest ingenting pludeslig blev udsendt i denne uge. Pe’ahi er også navnet på et big wave-surfing spot på Hawaii-øen Maui’s nordlige kyst. Her åbningsnummeret fra albummet Pe’ahi, der umiddelbart lyder som endnu en livgivende cocktail af distortet støj, kulsort retro-romance og klassisk ekstrempop, som kun Sune Wagner kan levere den…

– The songs begins by retelling the horrific story of a near-drowning surfing incident I had in Hawaii six years ago and how sometimes young lives have to take risks in order to exist. This song starts out the same way as The Doors debut album. The Doors are the ultimate West Coast band and an endless source of inspiration so it’s only fitting we started off Pe’Ahi by paying tribute to them. We tried to pack a lot of musical elements into this short song. There are elements of recurring musical ideas which are featured throughout the album such as exciting breakbeats, rhythmic changes, surprising song structure, fuzz, staccato guitar picking and layered vocals.
