2016 Atomized (also known as the Anti-Album) is the eighth studio album by Danish indie rock duo The Raveonettes, released on 17 February 2017 for digital download and set to be released on 21 April 2017 on CD.[2] A special Record Store Day vinyl version will be released the following day. All songs were previously released individually for download in 2016 through Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and Pledgemusic.[3][4][5]

Background

In late 2015, the band announced plans for the Rave-Sound-of-the-Month and that they would be recording and releasing twelve new songs online for each month of the year in 2016. The collection of songs was dubbed the "Anti-Album". "Every month throughout 2016 we'll be dropping a freshly recorded track. Taking you on a ride, potentially schizophrenic & disjointed, potentially cohesive and related" the band said.
