AH edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros. What a surprising blend of folk, blues, and rock; of whistling and country 'twang voices and slow-beat hand claps. One listen may lead you to believe that the band is the spawn of Bob Dylan and one of his hippie lady friends; at other times, are the trumpets in the background not reminiscent of a certain Johnny Cash song with mariachi band undertones? Perhaps the best word to describe ES&tMZs (is that the proper acronym?) is organic.
With such a wide range of sounds covered, it's a bet that you'll like edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros. maybe not. just give them a listen - my two favorite songs are "Home" and "40 Day Dream" - maybe you'll find that just "one turn and [you'll] learn what it really means to see..."
Don't you just want to pack up and head out on a pilgrimage with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros upon first listen?
