A CO RELEASE FROM TWO OF OUR FAVOURITE LABELS: THE LIMITED (AND DELUXE) VINYL VERSION IS ON NOT NOT FUN, AND THE CD IS ON RELEASE THE BATS!: BEHOLD SECRET KINGDOM IS THE FIRST PROPER FULL-LENGTH RELEASE FROM IOWA CITY'S RACCOO-OO-OON AFTER SEVERAL LIMITED CD-R/TAPE/VINYL RELEASES (INCLUDING CD RE-ISSUES ON TIME LAG AND RELEASE THE BATS!). THE BAND SPENT THE LAST YEAR WORKING ON BEHOLD SECRET KINGDOM - TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF LOVE AND HARD WORK HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS RECORDING WHICH NOW WILL BE UNLEASHED BY RELEASE THE BATS! 8 NEW SONGS THAT TAKE THE BAND'S SOUND FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES TO NEW HEIGHTS - THIS IS DEFINITELY THEIR MOST FOCUSED AND PERFECTED RECORDING, FAR SUPERIOR TO THE OLDER STUFF. DARKER, DENSER AND ALMOST BRUTAL AT TIMES, BEHOLD SECRET KINGDOM IS ALSO WITHOUT A DOUBT THE HEAVIEST RACCOO-OO-OON RELEASE SO FAR. THE TRADEMARK TRIBAL-LIKE DRUMS IS STILL PRESENT, AS IS THE VOCAL DRONES AND THE FURIOUS SAXOPHONE OUTBURSTS. THE OPENING TRACK COULD BE THE MOST PERFECT ALBUM OPENER EVER (AND THE STUNNING CLOSER 'TAIL AT PROSPECT PEAK' COULD BE THE PEFECT CLOSING TRACK...). BEHOLD SECRET KINGDOM IS A MASTERPIECE, THERE IS REALLY NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. CHAOTIC, YET BEAUTIFUL. RECORDED BY MIKE DIXON IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. CD IN FULL COLOUR DIGIPACK WITH THE BANDS NOW WELL-KNOWN AMAZING ARTWORK.
