Akron/Family's New Record, Tour Dates

The Akron/Family will release Love Is Simple on September 18th via Young God Records. The album follows up last year's Meek Warrior, and is, according to label owner/Swans/Angels of Light brainchild Michael Gira, a mix of "The Beatles, Chicago Art Ensemble, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Grateful Dead, The Hollies, The Butthole Surfers, [and] Led Zeppelin." They'll be touring relentlessly, of course.
