AKRON/FAMILY - including the yet to be released "Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free"


Akron/Family is a folk-influenced experimental rock band that formed in 2002, and is currently based in parts New York City, and Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Though each member of the band—Dana Janssen, Seth Olinsky, and Miles Seaton—can be relegated to loosely defined roles (drummer, vocalist/guitarist, and bassist, respectively), all of them in fact play several instruments and sing, as evidenced by their shows and recorded material: Live, the band uses improvisation and three-part harmonies in prominence. On their self-titled debut record, field recordings of a creaking chair, thunderclaps and the white noise of a television find their way alongside psychedelic and electronic elements, guitars and a glockenspiel. - wikipedia

definitely look into bands like animal collective, angels of light, grizzly bear and vetiver.
