You’ve heard these dudes. Even if you don’t think you have… you have. Popping up in television shows and movies, as well as numerous ads, ranging from Microsoft to the NFL, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros’ infectious hit, “Home,” has spread like wildfire since its release a few years ago. And there is no doubt in my mind that their new, self-titled album, which was released today, will be every bit as successful.
For their part, this soulful, groovy, talented 10-piece band, led by front man Alex Ebert, report they are thrilled to release new material. Ebert produced the album himself and shared on the band website, “These songs mean everything to me. It’s the rawest, most liberated, most rambunctious stuff we’ve done.” Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros have been described as psychedelic indie-rock but, their efforts — unquestionably triumphant — truly explore many styles.
You can purchase the album on iTunes, as well as a deluxe edition with three bonus tracks. If you’re looking for the CD, LP, or Vinyl, check out the band’s store.
