The Best Things In Life Are Free 05/06/09 in Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Janet Jackson must have seen this news post coming from way back in 1992 when she sung those illustrious words. For what we have for you is not 1, not 2, but 3 free tracks to give you a taste of what’s to come from a new band who are honestly one of the best and most exciting things we’ve heard in years. They hail from LA, from where we’ve had more than one report of fans becoming so overcome with joyful emotion at their live shoes that they cry tears of euphoric joy.
They make big, open-hearted anthems that evoke a different era when cynicism and irony didn’t course through pop music like countermelodies. The band’s aesthetic, no matter how contemporary and organic its evolution, screams ’60s psychedelia and ’70s boho-rock right down to touring in a converted school bus with the band’s name in script on the side and a driver named Cornfed.
So please take a listen and prepare yourself to spend this summer barefoot.
Be quick – it’s for one week only!
Enjoy! x
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros debut album ‘Up From Below’ will be released in the UK and Europe on Rough Trade 13th July 2009.
