on the day of its release "naked raccoon" was review by trebuchet magazine's scott ladauti. he writes... "naked raccoon works so well. a stripped down, track by track, acoustic replica of their first album. released on june 19th, naked raccoon brings the curtain down on a full year of recording and touring under the ten tracks that we first heard on the plugged-in big brother, velvet raccoon. most of the record’s focus is brohmal’s voice and his guitar."
