Akron/Family: ‘River’

Taken from lovely current album Set ‘em Wild, Set ‘em Free, 'River' is rather more joyous than one would expect from a group of Young God alumni. It’s the kind of thing one might compare to The Flaming Lips, if only Wayne Coyne’s travelling circus had released anything decent this decade. Opening with a more organic take on that wonderfully sinister Massive Attack 'Angel' beat – albeit with some shaker thing going on – ‘River’ builds fantastically.
