Cold front moved in yesterday.
Anyone who reads this blog know I love the Ravonettes, a Danish duo who combine a fifties/sixties feel with a dark modern sound. They released a four track Christmas EP in 2008, here are my two favourites.
Be warned their music is hypnotic and beautiful but really a bit of a downer (death, suicide, obsession) so make sure you haven't skipped your meds.
What a week, seemed to have escaped injury by a hair's breadth, slipped on the stairs and fell badly into the basement (you should see the bruise on my hip…or not), smashed my head into the sharp corner of the stoves range hood, the Lincoln (and the children and I) were almost hit by an 18 wheeler making a wide turn.
The Ravonettes, Christmas Song is the 2001 version, the 2011 is nice too but a little too precious.
Hugs,
Yikes! What a week! Hope you're on the mend.
ReplyDeleteI confess I hadn't checked out your Ravonettes clips until now. Very cool. They remind me of The Jesus & Mary Chain, which is nice company.
Are you familiar with Low? I have a hunch you might like them. They've been around since the mid-90s and have released a bunch of terrific albums. Their latest, C'mon, is one of the best. They also released a lovely EP titled Christmas a few years ago. Here's a sample if you're curious:

Take care, April, and watch out for those hazards! :c)
