Akron/Family have got a new LP to be released next month (Feb 8th) from Dead Oceans records. The album’s title, S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT, a wordy one, but they will tour it relentlessly over the next 3 months.
This second single, Silly Bears, is a hazy and chaotic journey to say the least. The fuzz on this song is palpable, the lyrics simple, but for one reason or another its entirely listenable. The simplistic vocal harmonies are in direct response to the wildly complex music going on beneath. This is well worth a few listens and a direct line to tickle the bug for their upcoming album.
