Akron/Family
Signed to label: Young God Records
From: New York, New York State
Brilliant NYC based band on Michael Gira's Young God label. Their extended songs consist of washes of ambient sound melting over gently strummed chords and mesmerising instrumental post-rock... each song feels like three songs' worth of ideas crammed into one composition, without ever feeling crowded or rushed... their debut album Akron/Family CD is out now, and their first UK gig is May 26th at ULU.
