While we wait for the next Wilco record, The Whole Love, to arrive next month, Jeff Tweedy has a few side projects to share via a new collaborative 7” with Deerhoof dubbed Behold A Raccoon in the Darkness. On the A-side, Tweedy leads the San Francisco quartet through a new version of Deerhoof Vs. Evil cut “Behold a Marvel in the Darkness.” In more surprising news, Tweedy has teamed up with sons Spencer and Sam to form a new experimental trio: the Raccoonists.
