Heavier Akron/Family hit Lee's April 19


To properly present the heavier sound of their latest work, Sub Verses, Akron/Family have bolstered their line-up for the upcoming tour with multi-instrumentalist M Geddes Gengras who'll be handling synthesizer and percussion duties.

Based in Los Angeles, Gengras recently released Test Leads on Holy Mountain but he's probably best known to visitors of this site for his role in the inspired Sun Araw meets The Congos collabo Icon Give Thank which was number 9 on The Perlich Post's Top Albums of 2012 list.  If you don't already own it, definitely give it a listen.

The amped up version of Akron/Family will appear at Lee's Palace on Friday, April 19 to preview the songs from Sub Verses – produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn 0))), Earth, Black Mountain, Wolves In The Throne Room) – that Dead Oceans has slated for April 30. Check out the Can-cussive blast of "No Room" below:
