Akron/Family will fight the timid fight on September 25 when they release Meek Warrior on Young God Records. The seven-track affair follows up last year's self-titled debut full-length and a split EP with Young God label head Michael Gira's Angels of Light.

As previously reported, the quartet recorded the majority of Meek Warrior in Chicago with legendary free jazz drummer Hamid Drake, but members of Do Make Say Think and Broken Social Scene also appear. Griffin Rodriguez engineered the record and played upright bass on "No Space in This Realm". All seven noisy-ass songs are listed in the tracklist after the jump.

Akron/Family also have a handful of shows scheduled for right around the release of the album, and will appear tonight backing finger-picker extraordinaire and sea-chantier Baby Gramps on "Late Show With David Letterman".

Tracklist:

01 Blessing Force
02 Gone Beyond
