Records Store Day Releases - 2009


Andrew Bird / Loney Dear split 7" (Polyvinyl)

Akron/Family - Everyone is Guilty 7" (Dead Oceans)

"Everyone is Guilty" is the first single from Akron/Family's upcoming May 5th full-length release, Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free. Featuring album opener "Everyone is Guilty" along with non-album b-side "Total Destruction". Opening with a groove unlike anything Akron/Family have ever laid to tape, this single kicks off a new chapter for the band. The percussive thunder and anthemic electric guitars make a bold statement, touching on everything from Fela Kuti to Sly and the Family Stone in under six psychedelic minutes. This is not the Akron/Family you think you know.
