Wavves, (spelled with the double “v’s”), are apostles of noise-pop, a niche of alternative rock that features the melodies and song-structures of pop music combined with distorted instrumentations and elements of white noise.
With Wavves it’s warped, lo-fi intensity.
We featured Wavves here last year. With a new album forthcoming, leader Nathan Williams has posted a free download on his blog.
“Horse Shoes” is the Song of the Day.

The Danish duo Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo are The Raveonettes.
Together since 2001, they infuse male/female harmonies, melody, and a bit of noise with unexpected somber lyrics.
Raven in the Grave, their fifth album, will be released in April.
Here is a new dreamier side of The Raveonettes as we hear in “Forget That You’re Young”, a free download from the album.
In Sharin’s own words: “It’s dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It’s the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring.”
Perfect indeed.
