Akron/Family’s new album, entitled the incredibly long winded S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT is out February 8th in the U.S. and March 14th in the U.K. Their first single, and subsequent video, is a poppy, psychedelic journey; well crafted and intriguing in a way that makes you crave the rest of the album. The band are hosting a series of listening parties for the new lp this month around the country and hit the road in February, dates (and an mp3 of ‘So it goes’) after the jump.
