***“The dissolution of Iowa City avants, RACCOO-OO-OON, was a tough pill to swallow. At the forefront of the now saturated weirdo DIY rebirth, the boys from the heartland made strange noises and oddball sing-alongs that pleased a wide swatch of curious collectors. Their albums were scooped up quietly and quickly as fervor for their hi-jinks grew as quickly as their reputation. But the amicable splintering of Raccoo-oo-oon has delivered with it equally mesmerizing and jarring experimentation. Through principle member SHAWN REED’s Night People label, his partnership with RYAN GARBES as WET HAIR has staked a new claim to adventurous music. The duo’s drums and kitchen sink mentality has ventured across the vast plain of styles and sounds, only to arrive at the infectious hybrid of psychedelia, electronic pop, and kosmische that dots their De Stijl full-length debut, In Vogue Spirit.”
