We caught the supremely-eclectic band Akron/Family the last time they were in town in 2011 at Soho, and they assailed with a scintillating onslaught on the senses.  The Swans Michael Gira has captured A/F well in his descriptive sentence: “A conflation of orchestrated Jazz, Prog Psych, R&B and devotional mantras.”  After a break, Akron/Family is set to release a new album Sub Verses (cover above) on April 30th.  Today the band and its label Dead Oceans have released a cut from the impending album entitled No-Room.  Check out the song which thankfully drones on and on.  Akron/Family plays Muddy Waters on January 29th courtesy of Club Mercy.  You can get your tickets HERE.  Don’t miss what will likely be the show of the year at that venue.  The new album’s tracklist is below the song.
