Akron/Family's fifth full-length album

The album was written in a cabin built into the side of Mount Meakan, an active volcano in Akan National Park, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. It was recorded in an abandoned train station in Detroit with the blackest white dude we all know, Chris Koltay (Liars, Women, Deerhunter, Holy Fuck, No Age). Chris, on tour after finishing the record, commented: “this album will transcend the internet.”


Finally, Akron/Family's new full-lenrth album "S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT" is coming out on February 8th, 2011 via Dead Oceans.
