Raveonettes Prep Album, Seek Label
Though currently label-less in the U.S. following the duo’s departure from Columbia, Danish-born outfit the Raveonettes will release Lust Lust Lust, the band’s fourth studio record to date, Nov. 5 internationally, Billboard.com reports. “Now that we’re out of the Sony deal, it’s going to be a lot easier for us to get all of the things we want, which means vinyl releases, seven-inch singles, and all of the cool stuff,” Raveonettes frontman Sune Rose Wagner told Billboard.com on the band’s options for U.S. distribution. “This time around, we get to choose who we want to work with.”

And it appears fans can expect a few musical alterations with the band’s label change: “It’s [Lust] written a lot in first person, whereas some of the other albums have been more fictitious stories and stuff,” Wagner said. “This is all based on personal experiences. I think lyric-wise, it’s something a lot of people can relate to. It’s quite dark and gloomy.”
