When dashing Danish duo The Raveonettes released In And Out Of Control to the masses last month, fans lucky enough to purchase the record from select indie retailers were rewarded with an exclusive bonus disc featuring “Planes Do Crash” and “The Chosen One,” two never-before-heard tracks. RecordStoreDay.com powered the promotion, pointing exclusive-hunters to retailers where the bonus disc was available. Of course, it was a “while supplies last” deal, so only a handful are still available (check out the website for details). But just as the stockpile begins to run low, RSD.com is offering up one of the songs — the jittery soda-shop stomp “The Chosen One” — for free. Fans who missed out on the physical goods can snag both exclusives when they buy the full album from ThinkIndie.com.

On Thursday, they start pounding pavement again in Vancouver, and are joined for a west coast leg the following night in Seattle by Crocodiles. And, of course, the band is still giving away tickets to fans via Twitter. Remaining itinerary below.

As one half of The Raveonettes, Sune Rose Wagner has spent the past seven years offering up noir-ish gutter rock and fuzzed out pop with his bandmate Sharin Foo. This week, however, the Danish-bred songwriter takes his bow as a solo artist with his eponymous debut, ten tracks of vintage Specter-esque sounds and hazy rock n roll. The album comes on the heels of a successful year for the Raveonettes, whose February release Lust Lust Lust has already landed year-end accolades from Paste Magazine, MTV2, and a host of others. Distinctly setting it apart from his output with Foo, Wagner’s solo album is delivered exclusively in his native tongue. But, don’t fret, Danish is a beautiful language, complimenting the US transplant’s soothing coo perhaps even better than the English he employs on countless Raveonettes releases. The stand-out here is the blissful “Beruset of Forhadt”,

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.
