Raccoo-oo-oon was an experimental noise rock/psychedelic rock quartet from Iowa.
Their first release was a self-issued cassette entitled Is Night People, which was reissued by Swedish label Release the Bats, (see Allmusic).
The members of the group were Andy Spore (vocals, electronics, percussion and saxophone), Daren Ho (vocals, guitar and electronics), Ryan Garbes (percussion and electronics) and Shawn Reed (vocals, guitar, electronics and percussion).
In 2012 guitarist Daren Ho opened Control Synthesizers and Electronic Devices in Brooklyn, NY with Jonas Asher.[2]
Their style of music has been described as "tribal-like percussions",[3] "raw and impetuous – characterised by seemingly-improvised saxophone freak-outs and crashing percussion with an emphasis on chaos".[4]
