Akron/Family

As mentioned, Akron/Family are releasing their new album, Sub Verses, on April 30 via Dead Oceans. If you’ve been following the band, you know they’re always pretty unpredictable, and that’s true of Sub Verses as well, which is generally more on the band’s melodic side than its predecessor, Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. You’ve already heard the album’s first single, “No-Room,” and since we last spoke, they’ve let loose another cut, “Until The Morning.” Both are solid tracks and you can stream them below.

As mentioned, the band are supporting the new record with a tour, which hits NYC on April 24 at Bowery Ballroom with M Geddes Gengras (tickets), and also comes to Austin for SXSW, where the band will play a BrooklynVegan day party on Friday, March 15 at 603 Red River St. (the old Emo’s location). That party is 100% FREE with RSVP, and the rest of the lineup is coming soon.
