Ed Is a Portal - Akron Family
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll frequently take the lazy way out and just kind of let Scott and/or Jason tune me in to guys like these. Dudes, many thanks.
Last weekend, Scott and I were driving down to the lake and popped in a new (to us) disc by Akron/Family. We were immediately impressed. Listening, one cannot help but imagine this band as one composed of at least two really talented songwriters. Two really talented and egocentric songwriters, each of whom were determined to get their unique two cents in on each and every track.
And it totally worked.
The above song is perhaps the best example. If you haven't started it at this point, quit reading this and hit play.
By the way, Scoot, I gave you like four days to get this sucker up. Where were you on this one?
Goddammit.
ReplyDeletePreviewing this, I didn't realize that the embedded media only covered thirty seconds of the track.
Here's the track to the whole thing.

He was busy researching Bolivian cocaine dens. Duh . . . What you do with your spare time?
