"This album will transcend the internet", sayeth Chris Koltay, producer of the forthcoming new album from the unique Akron/Family. Also quoting the press release, 'Akron/Family spent the end of 2009 and half of 2010 exploring the future of sound through Bent Acid Punk Diamond fuzz and Underground Japanese noise cassettes, lower case micro tone poems and emotional Cagean field recordings, rebuilding electronic drums from the 70’s and playing them with sticks they carved themselves. Upon miraculous resuscitation of the original AKAK hard drive, the album layers thousands of minute imperceptible samples of their first recordings with fuzzed-out representations of their present beings to induce pleasant emotional feeling states and many momentary transcendent inspirations.' Hard to add anything to add, except to say that Dead Oceans will release "S/T II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey of Shinju TNT" on February 8. You can listen to song fragments from the album below.
