Danish noir-rockers The Raveonettes cap a successful 2008 today with the release of Wishing You A Rave Christmas, the final installment in the band’s digital-only EP series. After months of touring behind their critically-acclaimed third full-length Lust Lust Lust, the duo of Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo announced plans in September to finish out the year with a string of four EPs. The initial installment was loaded with remixes courtesy of Trentemøller, Nic Endo and 80KIDZ and offered for free at Vice Records, followed by the electronically indulgent Sometimes They Drop By and the vintage Raves sound of Beauty Dies. The series concludes this week with the Holiday short-player, Wishing You A Rave Christmas, featuring the band’s mesmerizing take on Phil Spector classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”. What’s more, with their purchase, Amazon.com patrons get an exclusive version of the EP featuring “Forever In Your Arms,” a B-side from Lust Lust Lust, which is currently raking in the year-end accolades, with Paste placing the album in its Top 25, and MTV Subterranean giving both “Aly, Walk With Me” and “Dead Sound” nods on their best videos of 2008 list. Wishing You A Rave Christmas is streaming in its entirety on AOL Spinner all week.
