Raccoon Bandit
\nC<\/em>lose Your Eyes
\n<\/i>(Independent)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island indie rockers Raccoon Bandit\u2019s second album, Close Your Eyes<\/i>, is well worth checking out. Unlike many indie-rock bands, whose sounds meld together into a wave of redundancy, this band is unique.<\/p>\n

\u201cSearcher Song\u201d is a particularly noteworthy track that very wisely opens the album with its broadcast: \u201cYou have arrived at your destination. Sit back, relax, and listen.\u201d And you can\u2019t help but sail through the songs to follow.<\/p>\n

Another gem on this album is \u201cBelieve Me,\u201d a beautiful tune with harmonies reaching into and hugging your soul. This album fully demonstrates Raccoon Bandit\u2019s broad scale of capabilities, which are far from what is expected of an indie rock band. In fact, the genre does not come close to encompassing all that this band has to offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cPassing Through,\u201d the album\u2019s final track, not only has fitting content and placement, but, as the theme song of the Canadian series Just Passing Through<\/i>, shows that this is a group of pure Canadian talent\u0143talent that has been, and should continue to be, celebrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
