Eessentially an ensemble recorded live in the studio, Callahan’s Apocalypse is the corpus delecti.

Raveonettes
Raven In the Grave
After two great albums that redefined and nearly perfected their noisy girl group and razorblades wall of sound, the Raveonettes switch things up on their fifth album, Raven in the Grave.
In keeping with the title, the album trades out the fizzy, candy-sweet element of their songs and sound for something darker and gloomier.
