Tan LeRacoon & Racoonery
“We Didn’t Come Here Just To Be Nice”
Album (La Pochette Surprise)

No combination of genres—from rock ’n’ roll, gothic soul, jazz punk, glam dub, to post-punk—can ever do justice to the unique Tan-LeRacoon & Racoonery sound. A captivating energy runs through the arrangements with confidence and, often, verve. Intense, incisive, and inspiring, their music resonates with lived creativity and edge. “See Us All Rise (UP!)” invites you to dive in, rise up, and submerge yourself in a 17-minute-plus sonic journey where the focus is less on seeking something better and more on making it happen. What the world is, what it could be, the unvarnished truth, “love,” and “hate”—it’s all packed into this magnificent album, which showcases attitude, authenticity, and (mis)understanding!
