"Attack of the Ghost Riders" comes from Whip It On, the 2002 debut mini-album by the Danish indie rock group The Raveonettes, and Sune Rose Wagner wrote it, words and music. The record ran on a strict set of rules: every song sits in B-flat minor and gets by on only three chords, and this one is no exception. The next album, Chain Gang of Love, flipped the script to B-flat major almost all the way through.
Critics were mostly kind to the debut, which drew an average of 70 on Metacritic from 15 reviews, and its cover is a photograph by Søren Solkær Starbird.
