Prog-rocking-drone-ish oddball outfit from Iowa.

This is their website where music can be heard and pictures looked at.

Here is something we stole from the Upset! The Rhythm website:

Hailing from the prairies of Iowa, Raccoo-oo-oon are one of those bands that can somehow shift between seemingly divergent genres, while the whole time keeping a sound very much their own. Oft compared to a harder, more-deranged Animal Collective, their's is a sound which allows a speed-blasted, noise-fueled, psych-punk rocker to slide into grooving free-jazz territory, then into a gorgeous, tinkling bliss mantra, before descending to a sludgy psychedlic round of primitive pounding and Native American chants. Following numerous limited CD-R releases for a plethora of labels, including their own Night People imprint, 'The Cave of Spirits Forever' album has just received a full reissue on Time Lag, remastered by Yellow Swan's Pete Swanson.
