AKRON/FAMILY "Akron/Family" (Young God) CD
These Brooklyn hippies explored elements of folk and psychedelia on their Young God debut, but they stood apart (and above) many of their bearded peers with a sense of openness and fun that incorporated a myriad of other, less obvious influences: Radiohead, Captain Beefheart, the Incredible String Band, Spiritualized, the Flaming Lips, to name a few, and they found a warped individuality that seamlessly tied it all together.
