Some tend to think that the born-again messages of love and optimism from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros have the tendency to veer into overkill or even feel a little bit contrived. Listening to a song like “Life Is Hard,” however, off the band’s recent self-titled album, you never get the sense that the band is in any way faking their desire for good things to happen to good people.

Alex Ebert is not a hippie. The Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros frontman peppers his statements with joyful affirmations, and certainly dresses the part, but he assures that he isn’t interested in making music exclusively for the free spirit set. “If we were all in suits with short haircuts, I really don’t think anyone would see the music as hippie!” he says with an easy going laugh. “The music itself, you listen to it on its own, and it’s more R&B country.” More
Reviews
Jul 22, 2013By Alee Karim
Once upon a time, artists were reliant upon reinvention as their careers progressed; this model was perfected by pioneers like David Bowie and Paul Simon, who somehow managed to traverse myriad musical contexts while maintaining a thread of consistency throughout. It’s a remarkable balancing act, and a necessary one if longevity is part of an artist’s plans. More
May 31, 2012By Hays Davis
It’s been three years since Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros carved out an interesting creative niche with their 2009 debut album, Up From Below. In the ‘60s, three years could mean everything to a folk-oriented act, though the lofty pursuits of artists like Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs are leagues away from those of The Magnetic Zeros. More

Coachella 2010 Day Two Report – Camera Obscura, Muse, MGMT, Hot Chip, and more
Apr 18, 2010By Mark Redfern
Day two of Coachella 2010 alas offered few highlights. This year Coachella has put way too many great artists on Sunday’s bill, which will inevitably lead to a lot of Sophie’s Choice-like moments of picking between which favorite artists to see. Whereas Saturday’s bill suffered from a lack of must see artists, there was no shortage of artists worth checking out, it’s just that few of them delivered. Matters were not helped by the fact that the best set I saw was also the first set I saw. Almost everything underwhelmed after that. More
