So It Goes is the first single from Akron/Family’s new album S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT.

It is a soulful psych-bounce over a groove both surly and sexy. The riff is sticky, and the whole boat seems to sway with abandon while Upsetters-style backup singers keep you swaying in agreement…and just then the wind picks up and tosses you into the classic Vonnegut-nodding refrain of “so it goes,” echoing out and carrying you through into a coda that sounds like it could have been copped right off one of their Ak CDR releases – all sweetness and color and dreaminess.

All in all a most welcome return and one that bodes well for the album.
