Pe'ahi is the seventh studio album by Danish indie rock duo The Raveonettes, and was released on 22 July 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.
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 over four months working 12-hour days and is the first Raveonettes 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]

The Raveonettes are a Danish indie rock duo, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner on guitar, instruments and vocals, and Sharin Foo on bass, guitar and vocals. Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 1950s and 1960s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats, and often dark lyrical content, similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground.
