Description
Akron/Family return with the Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Black Mountain, The Cave Singers, Boris) produced album, Sub Verses.
The album started with visions of large monumental sounds inspired by the land artists Heizer and Turrell; American works on a grand scale, monuments, dirty hands and an epic American masculinity. Dust, Stone, Sky, Earth. These broad, bold strokes would come to pass but not quite as expected. A Sci Fi aesthetic narrative emerged. How to deal with it open heartedly? The plots within plots of Dune mirrored in many layers of sound. Creating 3D sonic atmospheres that our songs and singers inhabit. Our story, a story, all stories. Of the future, of yourself. Of everyone. We are all we are, only this and yet we move forward. Along some line to somewhere. And who knows? Seth Olinsky, Akron/Family
Music dissolves in sad earnest mist of drenched melancholy, spent [] Theyre inside the music, grinding it, fighting it, chewing it, digesting it, then spewing it up to the sky in a multicolored spray of endless sound and love. Michael Gira, Swans / Young God Records
Innovative no-holds-barred pop music Mojo (*****)
This is Akron/Familys seventh album / masterpiece of musical mayhem and meditations. Following successful tours on their previous album Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT, Akron/Family will be returning to the UK for a short festival run in July and a further visit later in the year.
