Akron/Family's new album Meek Warrior is out. It's not really my cup of tea exactly, but I like many of the ingredients (electronics, noise, free jazz horn wail, Hamid Drake) and look forward to seeing where they go with it. Saw em play live in so cal in december, they're playing my town next wknd. Their 2005 release certainly received a lot of attention (not sure that I ever heard it, to be honest), and it's somewhat interesting to see where they fit within the massive landscape of weird folk etc.
Anyone here follow them? Or gira or related projects? (P.S. in reponse to above posts, they sound nothing like Phish).
