Last month, Danish noiseniks The Raveonettes announced a string of digital-only releases for the home stretch of 2008. Fresh off the success of February’s critical smash,Lust Lust Lust, the band coupled the announcement with a free remix EP featuring Lust re-envisionings, before offering up the electronic-influenced Sometimes They Drop By in late September. The series continues today with the release of Beauty Dies, which further cultivates the Rave’s signature guitar-led noir rock sound. Audio and video for EP standout “Black/White” is available for download below, while the entire EP is currently streaming on AOL Spinner. The series will conclude next month with a Holiday short-player, modernizing the band’s favorite Christmas songs.

"...they haven't lost their touch for crafting the kinds of songs that invite you into a black-glittered parrallel universe." - FILTER

"It seduces us into coming back for more." -BILLBOARD
