"Love in a Trashcan" was first released in May 2005 on Pretty in Black, the Raveonettes' album of that year. Richard Gottehrer produced it with Sune Rose Wagner, who also handled some of the recording, and Joe Blaney recorded and mixed it. What comes out is a jolt of reverb-soaked, vintage-flavored rock and roll, guitars buzzing like a bad neon sign and a melody as sweet as a jukebox slow dance, with a switchblade tucked in its back pocket.
