AKRON/FAMILY is a ground-breaking band and we urge you to scrutinze their rainbow mountain rock right away. "Meek Warrior" is their latest LP, and it features contributions from free jazz legend Hamid Drake, Griffin Rodriguez (Bablicon), Jason LaFarge (Pineal Ventana, Sikhara) and members of Broken Social Scene and Do Make Say Think.
This album is insane. It's a lot harder than their self-titled 2005 debut, but it's also a lot tighter. While their first album had a sort of lilting feel, this one punches you in the face and then paints pictures of flowers and rainbows over the bruises. Equally suited for floating gently through the universe and being dragged over rocks. Their four-part vocals cannot be stopped.
To be released October 3rd 2006

Brainwashed has a nice little blurb from young gods records about this piece. Looking forward to it.
