Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes - Up From Below
A bunch of hippies from L.A. make up this band. There is actually no Edward Sharpe, only frontman Alex Ebert, former frontman for Ima Robot. Edward Sharpe is Alex's altar ego. After being disgruntled with big record companies, breaking up with his girlfriend and moving to LA and joining AA, Alex went back to his hippy roots and started writing a novel about Edward Sharpe. Edward Sharpe is a messianic figure who comes to save the earth, but keeps getting distracted by falling in love. This ten piece band is a good mix between some gospel folk and Arcade Fire's orchestrated pop, and since I like Arcade Fire so much, you can bet I am loving these guys right now. 'Home' is the release and probably my favorite song right now. However, I also hear some of that haunting Elvis Perkins style gospel noir in there as well. This music is the perfect music for this dreary winter weather that's been happening as of late. I am sorry I missed this last year.
