CD Description
First pressing of the CD comes with a bonus DVD in deluxe fold out double digipak. Long awaited new full length 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 wigged out free rock, and still encompassing a warming melodic pop glow throughout. The DVD is a film entitled 'The great american mess', live footage, etc of the Akron / Family at work!
