5 Word Record Review: Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros’ Up From Below

January 15, 2010 in 5 Word Record Review

“Creepy hippies kinda get awesome.”

I can’t find an exact release date.  Sometime in October.

Record Label: Community Music / Fairfax Recordings / Rough Trade

And, for your creeped-out edification, a video:

Here’s a decidedly more watchable one that the above.

    Digital release was July 7th; hard copy available on July 14th in the U.S.

    I love these guys. I picked up the record a few months ago, and now I hear “Home” everywhere. I think even in an episode of Community. Cultishly awesome. It never fails to put me in a better mood.

    @Samurai: Thanks for this. I had never heard of them until yesterday when a semi-crappy radio station played one of their songs. I pulled my car over to write down their name. I’m wondering if I ever saw them at the Joshua Tree Music Festivals…I don’t think so but they would fit in. The “Home” video is non-annoying and fun as hell.

    I’m glad that someone is giving SPP a hand with these reviews. I love the whole Audiosmoker concept. It is like a niche within the niche that is are corner of the Internet Universe. Of course, this is the corner with the window.

    @Chill: I can’t read! Thanks, The River Charley. D’oh. [I'm so used to SPP doing these.]
