The Raveonettes - Pe'ahi

Review by Joe Goggins

A record that flits between extremes with utter disregard.»

'Peʻahi' peɪˈɑːhiː/ pay-ah-hee; is a place on the north shore of the island of Maui in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It has lent its name to a big wave surfing break, also known as Jaws. During off season the spot is taken over by meth fuelled crazies and people are advised to not venture out there. Immersed in the surf-history of Southern California, where both Sharin and Sune reside, the album incorporates various elements from this culture into every song both lyrically and musically. The result is their most complex, intricate and autobiographical work to date.
