Danish garage-noir duo The Raveonettes apparently don’t get out much. But, given the success of this year's critically adored album Lust Lust Lust (TMT Review), we could probably give the uber-cool pair a bit of a break and humor them, huh? Just this once. Okay, here goes...

The Raveonettes rocked the music world this week with the announcement of completely never-been-done-before plans to release... get this: digital-only EPs on Vice. Since this has certainly never ever been done by a rock band before, and most certainly not in a similar fashion by rock bands as big and famous as, say, Nine Inch Nails or Radiohead, the press and fans alike have been understandably and decisively described by many analysts as “agog.”

“What an age we live in!” said one clichéd character when fake-interviewed about all of this futuristic madness. “This new format of releasing music digitally to the public, sometimes at no cost, is most likely going to catch on; and future generations are sure to cite none other than The Raveonettes as the proverbial Godparents, once the initial bouts of gob-smacked confusion wear off and fans are able to come to grips with the exciting possibilities of the digital age.”

The edgy duo plans to release these four space-record EPs over the course of the next few months. And now that they find themselves completely unfettered by the constraints of what most of us would refer to as “analog time,” the group is breaking yet another mold that certainly has not been broken before by anyone famous or British by announcing that their first EP (a collection of three Lust Lust Lust remixes courtesy of hypnotic Japanese electro producer 80KIDZ, Alec Empire-conspirator Nic Endo, and Danish DJ superstar Trentemøller, respectively) will be available for free... RIGHT NOW! Click here if you think you can handle the future of music distribution, man.
