The Danish duo the Raveonettes will release their new record, Observator, on September 11th on Vice, but you can hear an exclusive stream of the entire album here. Though the record took months to write, members Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo recorded Observator in just one week at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles with producer Richard Gottehrer.

With its fuzzed-out haze settling over much of the record, Observator is filled with upbeat pop cuts like "Sinking With the Sun" and "Downtown," along with the Americana-tinged opener "Young and Cold" and the lovelorn "The Enemy."

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
