Another Day

Hailing from the Netherlands, Racoon hits America with their first official stateside release "Another Day," a year after it was released in Europe. The band is often compared to R.E.M., but that alone is not a good description of this band's reverently pop sound. Comparisons range from Tonic to Bob Dylan, but while incorporating all of these influences, Racoon defines its own sound.

"Happy Family" is straight from mid-90s pop, while "Love You More" is reminiscent of 1960s singer/songwriters with a contemporary update. "Got To Get Out" mixes rock guitar riffs with Emerson Hart style vocals, creating a catchy song with depth. "Lose Another Day" explores the effects of drinking, in a melodic, guitar driven tune.

Racoon is sure to secure a place in American pop music with "Another Day."
