Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ self-titled album, is out now and not like their other albums, its roots and shows a band that has evolved and hopeful for the future.
Some of the tracks on the album were originally recorded as the bookend piece to their sophomore album, but in their last year of touring, the collection of songs were re-imagined, taking on their own shape. They are upbeat, boisterous and passionate, with gospel chorus harmonies, raw, wailing vocals, and deep-in-the-pocket rhythms. The first single ‘Better Days’ mirrors perfectly the feelings of a country emerging from several years of tough times as the light of hope begins to peak through. It may be their most earnest work yet.
Each release by this incredibly talented family of 10+ seems different and transformed from the last, while still maintaining the principles they arrived with—community, exploration and self-relevance. Frontman Alex Ebert, who produced this new album entirely himself, shared, “these songs mean everything to me. It’s the rawest, most liberated, most rambunctious stuff we’ve done.”
