Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros is an American band led by Alex Ebert. Their first full-length recording, "Up From Below," was released July 7, 2009 for digital download and July 14, 2009 in plastic. Many people have hear their most popular single, "Home," which has been featured in a YouTube video, "Guy Walks Across America," an NFL commercial, the movie Cyrus, and various television episodes, but Edward Sharpe is much more than that.
They are the modern hippie version of Arcade Fire with ten members. Their sound and presence are unique. Sharpe and his Zeros dip their one hundred toes into the, "sounds of the 1960s." There are handclaps and horns, sprightly choruses and thousand-part harmonies to give the music a very loose, loving, free feeling. Ebert and Jade Castrinos, the other lead singer, have very unique accents with a sort of whiskey and cigar sound, especially Castrinos. This is music that you typically won't hear on the radio which I like. It is fresh music rather than over played radio garbage. I think everybody should have at least one Edward Sharpe song in their music library. It gives you a sense of music out of the mainstream
