Description:
The akron/family's musical vocabulary runs deep - it's not just Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and The Grateful Dead that inform this record; the band feels at home, confident, and self-assured. With limited outside assistance, the trio has made a focused, powerful, and unified work. This is the new psychedelic rock. Akron/Family came to NYC in 2002 to make music, hoping to find a thread of real magic still winding through The Big Apple's music scene by retreating into a tiny Brooklyn apartment, where they made their own world instead, in complete and stubborn isolation. They grew alarmingly long beards, developed a playful but hermetic, quasi-religious, sonic worldview / creed known as "Ak" or sometimes "Ak-Ak" and recorded on crude home equipment at least three albums' worth of material.
