Providence no-wave instigators Ravi Shavi have long made a party out of the sundowning of the American empire. Combining short and taut, groove-laden tunes with lyrical bars that take precise aim at the mind-numbing white supremacy, chauvinism, and bloodthirst so central to this country’s farcical place in the geopolitics of the east. Suffice to say they make music for shaking ass or uhhh throwing shoes if you catch my drift.

A longtime in-demand opener for some of indie rock’s leading lights when they hit Providence on that second-city leg, Ravi Shavi are ready for a curtain call of their own as they get set to release Wild Rock Dove their latest LP on Almost Ready Records. Having recently caught the four-piece open for psych rock heartthrobs Spirit Ghost we can attest that they are cooking with some serious gas on these new tunes. Speaking of which, we are pleased to be premiering the final single from the Dove today in “Fresh Hell”. A tantalizingly short number that nevertheless lays out most of themes of the whole thing in under 2 minutes, the track (which features an excellent, almost Scooby-Doo like chase sequenced music video) is among their finest, most succint moments yet. Ravi Shavi fronter Rafay Rashid had this to say:

“This one’s about American indifference and the illusion of blissful ignorance. The numbness of the Clinton-era morphing into something demonic and glib. About the dissonance between self-help culture, war and the commodification of every problem. Walking down the street, it’s a brand new hell each day, and to most, it feels alright.”
