On their fifth disc, this Danish duo prolong their frigid endless summer, turning out songs full of surf-pop harmonies and film-noir ambience. One or both members are clearly smarting from broken hearts — they've softened their usual lyrics of crime and violence into lovelorn laments like "Let Me on Out." But it's a little hard to care about their pain, since their sound seems more routine than ever. "Recharge & Revolt" milks the same brand of tinny treble guitars that were getting tired a record ago, and the distortion-laced "Evil Seeds" freeze-dries the Jesus and Mary Chain, making an already detached band seem even chillier. Wear a parka to this beach party.

Listen to "Evil Seeds":

“Tonight's the Night”

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
