Akron/Family

I'm only just getting into this amazing band named Akron/Family. Only listened to their self-titled debut album so far, and it is psychedelic, eclectic, folky, eccentric, light headed goodness (it is kind of hard to put a name on their sound). Every song on the album develops so beautifully, with hidden surprises that make you gasp and put a smile on your face.

This is my favourite song so far, the most rocking one on the cd. The electronic beats and acoustic instruments interweave, building into a heady crescendo with Seth Olinsky's falsetto notes hitting pure bliss. Essential listen.
