The Raveonettes - Let Me On Out
"'Let Me On Out' is probably the least commercial song on Raven In The Grave, in that respect you could refer to it as an anti-single. We really love the song. It's beautiful, haunting, loud, and dynamic. Everything a great song should be. We wanted to showcase the song in a static setting to draw the listeners attention to the raw sound."
Wow, humble much? Still, this I believe they've accomplished. It's reminiscent of Andy Warhol's factory screen tests on stars such as Lou Reed, Dennis Hopper, and Bob Dylan. We've even got an Edie Sedgwick character, complete with extravagant black eye makeup and short almost white blonde hair. Looking down and away from the camera, or directly at it, no action, just focusing on the people themselves as they do nothing in front of the lens brings some sort of curious and aesthetic satisfaction to the frame.
Pick up Raven In The Grave over at amazon.
