Akron/Family, a trio of ethereal, hirsute fellows from Pennsylvania via Brooklyn, play crackling alt-folk punctuated by surprising acoustic interludes — a mix that seems to issue from a warped gramophone, rather than a bank of speakers. Borrowed sounds, discordant string arrangements, and harmony-heavy vocals create the ambiance of a religious revival — one that forces even the hardest-hearted hipsters to surrender.
