Akron/Family

3762 fans

Free and inspired, the music of this Brooklyn-based band is characterized by its great variety. Akron/Family's polymorphic albums, released since 2005, contain compositions ranging from folk and free jazz to percussion, brass, electro, post-rock and a host of noisy experiments. Released in February 2011, their fifth album, with the convoluted title Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT, once again pushes the boundaries.
