Since the debut Akron/Family album came out in March Æ05 theyÆve played hundreds
(and hundreds) of shows across the known world, recorded / released and toured
for a split album with Angels of Light (also serving as backing band in the
latter, both in studio and on tour), recorded a few home brewed albums they sell
on the road, and have generally worked themselves to death, or at least into a
new entity they themselves maybe donÆt even recognize. And now this: a new
ôspecialö album that has been blaring in my office constantly, obsessively, for
weeks now and that once again shows them morphing into something simultaneously
unfamiliar, wild, gentle, raging, hilarious, elated and meditative - riddled
with chaos and sonic contradiction, and sometimes just simply beautiful û the
song ôGone Beyondö is the sort of palliative hymn I want to hear while suddenly
finding myself drifting through the universe having unexpectedly jettisoned the
meat-grinder of earthly existence - where perhaps songs like ôBlessing Forceö ,
played repeatedly at full volume, have pummeled me into hapless insensibility.
All of this ultimately gets sorted out and makes for a stunning document, in my
opinion. At the time of this writing theyÆre ensconced in the mountains
somewhere on a much-needed recuperative retreat. Good thing, because this fall
and winter theyÆll be touring again and also recording another new album for
YGR, to be released early next year, when theyÆll tour again, and on to
infinity... I hope you enjoy the music! - Michael Gira/Young God Records
