Q MagazineMay 16, 2011He fashions an album that's playful and dewy-eyed, without being juvenile. [May 2011, p.109]
-
Mar 15, 2011Despite a new sense of freedom, Ebert carefully crafts the album to keep a good balance between a full sound layered with an array of instruments and vocals to simpler textures that showcase just one element of the music.
-
UncutApr 13, 2011Alexander isn't far off great. [May 2011, p.86]
-
Mar 15, 2011On Alexander, Ebert proves he's just as capable on his own as he is sharing a stage with nine other musicians.
-
Mar 15, 2011The result is a sunny, homemade-sounding record, but these aren't throwaway songs -- there's enough melody here to warrant attention regardless of Ebert's success with the Magnetic Zeros, and while that band's blissed-out bombast is an obvious touchstone, Alexander covers significantly more ground.
-
Under The RadarMay 27, 2011While Alexander, is not exactly the most varied albums, it is pleasantly--and impressively--cohesive, balancing just the right amount of sun-drenched melodies and unhinged heartache. [May 2011, p.83]
-
Mar 15, 2011If it's vaguely hippie-ish and vaguely Californian, count on Ebert to work it into his solo debut: acid-folk reveries, Beck-ish busker rap, lyrics about Vietnam, sensitive maleness, Dylanisms, yodeling, calling women "mama," reggae, bongos.
