Akron/Family - Akron/Family
Weird folk electronic pop music. "Before and Again" is a great opener. Some people absolutely love this album, claiming it the best album of 2005. I think it's pretty good, and if you're into experimental folk, you'll probably love it.
"I'll Be on the Water" is one of the sweetest songs I've heard in a while. It's just really cute.
"Running, Returning" might be the best song on the album though
I'm not sure how I really feel about this album yet.
I'll start a rating system I think:
RATING: 4 out of 5
Good idea, Sean, my boy.
I'm not crazy about this album, but I like it. I think it'll grow on me.
Pitchfork gave it an 8.0 if you cared to know. Go there for a longer review.
Akron is Family
I really need to stop with the lame link titles.
You can buy it here.
I'll be back later with one more post if all goes as planned.
