The Raveonettes 'In and Out Of Control' album

Danish rock duo The Raveonettes have annouced a fall tour in support of its fourth studio album, "In And Out Of Control" out October 6th on Vice Records. The 19-date jaunt is set to kick off October 14th with The Black Angels opening for them thru October 26th, and special guests throughout November, at New York's Webster Hall and close out November 15th in Las Vegas.

After holing up in their native Denmark this spring to lay down new material, members Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo are now reflecting on the final product. "I still feel like I'm just emerging from the six intense weeks in the studio in Copenhagen and still digesting what this album is really all about," says Foo. "But I know it's a strong album that feels very complete."

Back in June, The Raveonettes started using its Twitter profile to let fans directly into the recording process, posting links to unfinished demos of songs and inviting feedback. The three demos, "Last Dance," "Boys Who Rape, and "In and Out of Control", reveal a similarly fuzzy, retro vibe to the band's 2008 album, "Lust Lust Lust."

"What strikes me is that more so than ever before the mood of the music and the subject of the lyrics are in extreme conflict with one another," says Foo. "Our past records have tended to sound like different perspectives of one controlling emotion, both sonically and thematically, almost like a drone. But this record is very much a collection of songs which each has their own individual emotion, energy and personality."

Though the new album takes its name from one of the demos, The Raveonettes revealed that "In and Out of Control" will only appear as a B-side. The single, "Last Dance" impacts Alternative on October 6th.
