Akron/Family

Akron/Family, Ned Collette at London Cargo, Wed 16 May

Review by Daniel Ross

Akron/Family don't rely on technical wizardry to dazzle the audience. Their ensemble approach is more akin to an annoying bunch of Christians shooing an initially cold-hearted congregation into their slightly juvenile way of worship...»

Akron/Family

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.
