ABOUT THIS ITEM

Long awaited new full length from this New York four piece; this album was recorded with Andrew Weiss (Rollins / Ween) and really does capture the sonic diversity and power of the Akron/Family live experience which is one of the greatest live experiences around right now. Unrelated reference points for the melting pot are the Band, The Hollies, The Butthole Surfers, Pink Floyd (pre "Dark Side Of The Moon"), Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead; Akron/Family create an almost perfect four piece sound. They wield a potent psychedelic rock that careens with full force from almost gospel chanting mantras to cosmic folk to wigged out free rock, and still encompassing a warming melodic pop glow throughout.
