iTunes Review

Guitarist and singer Sune Rose Wagner is half of the Raveonettes, a garage-rock-inspired band from Copenhagen that released a celebrated full-length album (Lust Lust Lust) and four EPs in 2008. Apparently not content with that prodigious output, Wagner also released this debut solo effort during the final weeks of that year. While there are certainly elements of the Raveonettes’ raunchy guitar-driven sound in Wagner’s solo debut (he’s the principal songwriter after all), on the whole these songs are not as dark. He’s still brooding and melancholy at times, yet without the hard edge, as on the lovely piano ballad “Altid” or the subtle doo-wop sensibility of “Gi’ Mig en Pige.” One instantly obvious difference is that Wagner sings all the vocals here in his native Danish, but this doesn’t detract much for those who don’t speak the language. If anything, it puts more emphasis on his catchy melodies and gorgeous reverb-heavy guitar playing, with tones ranging from fuzzed-out to chiming to blindingly bright. Wagner reveals a slightly different side on this eponymous effort, and it’s one that most fans of the Raveonettes will enjoy.

Falls short of The Raveonettes

This is Sune Rose Wagner's debut solo album. Having said that and listened to it repeatedly for a couple of weeks now, I can say that it is still better than 90% of music out there. However, being that I am a music snob, I believe everything I listen to is already better than 90% of what's available. His album sounds sincere, is easy to get through and is reminiscent of a surfy 60's sound (similar to The Raveonettes). All the lyrics (and song titles) are in Danish, so I don't understand a word on the album. I think that speaks to the quality and originality of an album if it is enjoyable despite being in another language; if music is good, it's good, it shouldn't matter if it is sung in a different language. Lastly, I often feel that if an artist from an established band goes solo - particularly the primary creative force of the former band - her/his solo material sounds an awful lot like their other band. This is certainly true with Wagner's album. At times it sounds like it is missing Sharin Foo (from The Raveonettes). I would still recommend this album, but better yet stick to The Raveonettes (as I'm sure you already listen to them if you've searched Sune's solo album).
