RACCOO-OO-OON (RTB#43)
Everything's coming to a end with the swansong from Iowa
City's Raccoo-oo-oon. Following up last years critically
acclaimed Behold Secret Kingdom (RTB/Not Not Fun), the final
album takes everything up a notch and shows a band taking
their last breath and laying down the last bricks in their
fairly short history.
The album blends together all different parts of
Raccoo-oo-oons discography, taking cues from the utter
freeform punk madness of The Cave Of Spirits Forever (Time
Lag), building something completely new of the era that was
Behold Secret Kingdom and yet delivering echoes of the
eclectic Mythos Folkways recordings. The album reeks of
desperation and a feeling of going down with nothing to loose
at all. A fucked up future-prog mayhem that is all over the
place and at no known place at all at the same time.
Genuinely uncomfortable, desperate and just beautiful, this
album will surely be remembered as the most important
recording that Racco-oo-oon ever put to tape. Minds are
melting, new grounds are covered and things will never be the
same.
A playtime of close to 75 minutes over 7 tracks.
Mastered by Pete Swanson.
Mini gatefoldsleeve with black felt.
2xLP version on Not Not Fun.
The band members are now playing in acts such as Wet Hair,
Trash Dog and Pukers.
