In titling their latest album S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT, Akron/Family is clearly making a play for the mainstream. Well, not really, but within the layers of experimental electronic-folk that fills the album, bits of hooks and catchy vocal harmonies occasionally peek through to let listeners know that these guys could be masterful pop songwriters (see: “So It Goes”), if they wanted to go that way. Not content to deal in traditional song structures, through, Akron/Family instead treat the world as their sonic palette, with all three members playing multiple instruments and singing through some of the most dense soundscapes you’ll encounter this year.
