Family is the self-released third EP by Noah Gundersen. It was recorded by Daniel Mendez (who has previously worked with Lit, Dashboard Confessional, Duran Duran, Heart, and Train)[1] and mastered by Ed Brooks in just under a week in Dallas.[1] It was released on August 6, 2011. The 7-track EP features Noah's sister, Abby Gundersen, who plays violin and sings vocal harmonies on several tracks. Family has been called genre-defying and at times reminiscent of Ryan Adams, Fleet Foxes, Tom Waits, and Neil Young.[1] The EP can be downloaded on Noah Gundersen's Bandcamp page.[1]

Noah felt the title of the EP to be fitting as it "pays homage to the people who have shaped his life."[1] "Family comes in many forms," says Noah. "It lives with us, for better and for worse. It shapes us. That's what this album is about."[1]
