 LOVE IS SIMPLEAkron/Family are four extremely nice, sincere and well-mannered young men from rural America who came to New York City in 2002 to make music.Through three albums made in a Brooklyn home studio and, more recently (2005), through a collaboration with Young God labelmate Angels of Light, Akron/Family has earned itself a madcap reputation: songs that start in a Beatles-inspired place inevitably erupt into skronk before settling into country sweetness, and folk-raised spirituals dart through Led Zeppelin territory, with '60s rock and general psychedelia also major themes. In addition to the more obvious influences -- The Beatles, Brian Wilson, Dylan, The Band -- Radiohead, Captain Beefheart, and acts like Spiritualized also clearly have an influence on their music. Following their 2005 self-titled debut on Young God and a split with Angels of Light (also serving as the backing road and studio band for that Michael Gira project), Akron/Family released their follow-up album, Meek Warrior, in October 2006. Their latest album "Love is simple" came out in 2007. |
