In a universe where groove has been outlawed, Raccoon Tycoon sets out on a mission to bring the funk back—one beat at a time.
Blending improvisation with raw energy, this cosmic-groove quartet draws inspiration from the nu-jazz vanguard—think Hiatus Kaiyote, The Comet is Coming, and Snarky Puppy—while forging their own vibrant path through space.
Their debut album, Ernest Spaceship, is more than just a collection of tracks—it’s a full-blown concept album. Each song plays like a scene from a sonic odyssey, weaving together hypnotic rhythms and dreamy soundscapes to create an immersive, otherworldly experience.
Whether it’s the call to move or the pull into a parallel dimension, the result is the same: total musical gravity.
Already spotted on major national stages like Jazz à La Défense and a finalist at the Sziget Festival’s band contest, Raccoon Tycoon opens a bold first chapter of their universe with Ernest Spaceship. And at its core is Cosmic Trip, a standout track that captures the band’s identity in full force.
