Moving away from the glossy plastic poptastic sound that came to characterize their time under the watchful eye of Columbia Records, The Raveonettes have gone back to their noisy roots with Lust Lust Lust and stormed onto the indie scene with a kickass album that screams "this one's for the fans!"

A weepy slice of metallic fuzzy logic, the latest from the Copenhagen couple confirms that the old shoegazing goodness of My Bloody Valentine and early Primal Scream won't be going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the best way to get a taste of what you can expect from their latest effort would be to crank "Just Like Honey" (that's the track from the end of Lost in Translation, btw) and remember a time when bending the rules of pop was still a well-respected aspiration in the music biz.

Plus the album cover is designed in funky 3D, so you can trip the light fantastic while you listen to hot and breathy female vocals. Bonus.
