In the studio

First off, I must apologize for the lack of updates. A combination of laziness and some other stuff is to blame. But now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’ll get right to it. Updates from The Raveonettes are coming faster than I can keep up with, apparently, but here’s the latest.

In between the last update and now, both Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo have each had one-hour live video chats with fans. You can find Sharin’s here and Sune’s here. Very informative stuff. One bit: The new album should be ready for an Oct. 6 release.

Yesterday marked the first of three opportunities fans can peer in on the studio sessions for a couple hours. It’s neat because you feel pretty exhaustive listening to the same stuff over and over again, just like the artist must feel. The next one is tomorrow, June 24, but there appears to be a discrepancy in time. Twitter says 3 p.m. EST, while the Vice page says 12 p.m. – 2 p.m. So, who knows at this point. You can see the first one here, where the duo, along with producer Thomas Troelsen, is working on vocals for the tentatively titled “D.R.U.G.S.”
