Album Review: Akron/Family & Angels Of Light by Akron/Family & Angels Of Light

Very Good, Based on 2 Critics

There's nothing weird about the pairing -- the four Akron members simply stop being fake kin for a while and join Gira for the record's final five songs -- but few would venture to say the disc itself is not weird. Which doesn't preclude it from sounding great.
