Raveonettes in and out of control rar12/30/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Single "Last Dance"- a resplendent dose of dreambeat prom-pop- perfectly exemplifies the morbid tongue-in-cheek formula that the best tracks on Control subscribe to. A glance at the track listing might persuade one to think that this affair will prove assuredly more "out of control" than "in" ("Suicide", "D.R.U.G.S.", "Breaking Into Cars"), but most of these songs invert the anticipated and adopt a playfulness that's both disquietingly funny and humbly self-referential. Less gorgeously noisy than Lust, Control makes up for all that grand recklessness in its sure-footing and execution. So you could almost call In and Out of Control a sophomore effort of sorts: "Now I tremble in New York City, the times we had were the best, yeah baby," sings Wagner on "Gone Forever", a fantastically dispiriting, too-old-for-this-shit sequel to Chain Gang's "New York Was Great". But with their return-to-loud third album Lust Lust Lust, we found a band embracing their failure to launch, reconnecting with (and latching more tightly to) a sound they so lovingly cultured. ![]()
