Throughout this new tune from big beatmaster , he rap-sings with sincere irony–a sweeping aesthetic that sees no reason why musical allusions to hip-hop and Bob Dylan can’t coexist in the same song. Sheep Sheep Beat’s rich collage of sound may very well prove a prediction of Astro’s future. Once he perfects the art of telling a story, he could take over the world.

So last Tuesday marked the release of Akron/Family’s much anticipated new album, Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free. Their first album as a trio; the band still create melodies that happily swirl together folk, classic earthy rock, pop, baroque and a whole lot of psychedelia. You can’t deny that Akron/Family are alive and well after one listen of the song, River.

Akron/Family will be back in San Francisco on the 28th of August at this year’s Outside Lands Music Festival.
