The Family is the seventh studio album by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton. The Family is the album foretold at Coachella, though a package of shelved recordings, TM, arrived hours later, earning the distinction—for now, anyway—of being the final Brockhampton release.
In terms of personnel, The Family is effectively a Kevin Abstract solo project: Bearface and associate Boylife split production duties, but Abstract’s is the lone voice on nearly all 17 tracks.
With most of the group in absentia, The Family retains Brockhampton’s prismatic framework. Taking stock of their improbable stardom, Abstract sketches a series of brief retrospectives full of contradictory and ambivalent sentiments. In Abstract’s telling, Brockhampton’s journey was the thrill of a lifetime, and also a decade-long slog of recording and touring.
