Pe'ahi (album)
Pe'ahi is the seventh album by Danish indie rock duo The Raveonettes, and was released July 22, 2014.[4] Due to the purposeful lack of promotion or formal announcement of a release date, the album was dubbed a "surprise" release by the band.[5] Pe'ahi received favorable reviews from music critics.[1] The album debuted at number four in their native Denmark, and charted at number 161 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.
Background
After Sune Rose Wagner's father died suddenly in 2013, the band immersed themselves in Southern Californian surf culture. The album was created in early 2014, in 4 months working 12 hour days and is the first Raveonette's album to include musical elements such as harp, choirs, and staccato. Lyrically the album deals with tense subject matter such as Sune's near drowning in 2008 ("Endless Sleeper"), his difficult relationship with his father ("Kill!"), his father's death ("Summer Ends"), and infidelity ("Wake Me Up" and "A Hell Below").[6]
The title of the album refers to a popular surfing spot in Maui.[5]
