Velvet Raccoon is the debut studio album of American indie rock band Silent Old Mtns, released on June 19, 2012. 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. Its lead single, Dead All The Time, was released along with a music video on March 22, 2012. 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." 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."
