Heavier Akron/Family hit Lee's April 19
To properly present the heavier sound of their latest work, Sub Verses, Akron/Family have bolstered their line-up for the upcoming tour with multi-instrumentalist M Geddes Gengras who'll be handling synthesizer and percussion duties.
Based in Los Angeles, Gengras recently released Test Leads on Holy Mountain but he's probably best known to visitors of this site for his role in the inspired Sun Araw meets The Congos collabo Icon Give Thank which was number 9 on The Perlich Post's Top Albums of 2012 list. If you don't already own it, definitely give it a listen.
The amped up version of Akron/Family will appear at Lee's Palace on Friday, April 19 to preview the songs from Sub Verses – produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn 0))), Earth, Black Mountain, Wolves In The Throne Room) – that Dead Oceans has slated for April 30. Check out the Can-cussive blast of "No Room" below:

A quieter, gentler Black Mountain?
The much anticipated new Black Mountain album Wilderness Heart won't be available (officially at least) until September 14 but you'll likely get to hear a big chunk of the songs Stephen McBean and company recorded with Dave Sardy at L.A.'s Sunset Sound and Randall Dunn at Seattle's London Bridge Studio when the BC badasses storm the Horseshoe tonight with Quest For Fire.
Considering the softer 'n' subtler direction in which both McBean and his Black Mountain bandmates Amber Webber and Joshua Wells have been heading lately with their folk-psych side projects Pink Mountaintops and Lightning Dust, it's a good bet that Wilderness Heart will be less concerned with Marshall melting than any of Black Mountain's previous riff rippers. However, I'd still recommend bringing proper ear protection to the Horseshoe show should you have plans to hear anything in the coming week. Have a look at Black Mountain's witchy video for Old Fangs which you can download for free right here.
