It took six albums, but with Spijt Is Iets Voor Later Racoon switches to the Dutch language. Frontman Bart van der Weide also refers to the album as very biographical. The death of his eldest sister had a big influence on the songs, which are about family ties and being happy with the things you have. Together with Racoon guitarist Dennis Huige, Van der Weide wrote the arrangements, which hark back
… to old Dutch songs and the song of life. The choice to sing in Dutch gives the lyrics something extra intimate. These are wrapped up in cosy guitar playing and subtle string arrangements. Racoon has absolutely nothing to regret with this album. (JvQ)more
