Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Here (Vinyl LP) * * *

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' Second Album Here on LP.

Here is the sophomore full-length from Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros led by Ima Robot frontman Alex Ebert, a band hailed by Spin Magazine as a “perfect example of rock’s new order.” Following-up their 2009 debut Up From Below, the sessions for the self-produced 9-song set began in Bogalusa, LA and commenced in the group's studio in Ojai, CA.

The Community Music/Vagrant Records release is highlighted by songs like the sunny, vocal heavy cut "Mayla" and the unwavering "Man On Fire." The artwork for the album features a photograph shot by Ebert in Mozambique.

"The making of this album has spanned a time of immense perseverance and, thankfully, co-creation,” explains Ebert. “Making this album has been a test of our faith in ourselves and in the universe, and brought us closer together and in greater harmony with one another. A deluge of music has been written and recorded, and we are intensely excited to share it with anyone who wants to feel it."
