Raccoon Fighter’s "Wolf At Your Window" MP3 Drops w/ USA Today
Raccoon Fighter’s “Wolf At Your Window” MP3 Drops w/ USA Today’s Pop Candy.
New Album ZIL Out Now
“…louder and rawer than one might assume from a simple three-piece.” — WNYC
“…tough, confident and a little rough around the edges.” — USA Today’s Pop Candy
Brooklyn trio Raccoon Fighter recently celebrated the release of their debut LP, ZIL, via Papercup Music. Today, they share album track “Wolf At Your Window,” a gritty garage-rock number with raw, in-your-face vocals from lead singer Sean Gavigan. Like the rest of the album, the song showcases the guys’ punk and psych-rock tendencies with a sound louder & more raucous than you’d expect from a three-piece. You can listen to “Wolf At Your Window” where it premiered w/ USA Today’s Pop Candy, and download & share the track via Soundcloud below.
ZIL, which was released on October 1st and is currently available via iTunes, also features fuzzed-out single “Santa Tereza” and the heavy, driving guitars of “My Ticket.” Its title, which was originally inspired by Turkish finger cymbals used on the album, earned a double-meaning, as Sean explains: “After meeting our Kickstarter goal, we figured it was all or nothing. Zillion or Zilch, or ZIL for short.” And as for the band’s name, which the three get asked about quite a bit: “We met this guy at one of our shows while we were playing under an alias and he told us he was having problems with a raccoon that was tearing up his mom’s garden. He shot and killed that raccoon, and we named our band after him.”
