Velvet Raccoon is an LP by American indie rock band Silent Old Mtns, released on June 19, 2012.[1] Recording began in August 2011 with producer Myles Vlachos at the Key Facility in Monrovia, MD, and was finished in March 2012. The album was named after a velvet painting of a raccoon that drummer Pat Acuña purchased at a flea market while living in Nashville, TN.[4] Its lead single, Dead All The Time, was released along with a music video on March 22, 2012.[5] Critical response to Velvet Raccoon was generally positive, receiving an 8/10 when reviewed by Live Music Guide, calling it "...the first step of a visionary band with an honest and original sound."[2] While Muzik Dizcovery's Casey Whitman wrote "Velvet Raccoon is hard to classify and unconventional, but the band has made an enormous leap, blowing away even my high expectations."[6]
