May 24, 2012Before you dismiss them as Hollywood hippies, know that they're serious about the lovely troubadour melodies on Here.
-
May 24, 2012It's hard to find many flaws in this new disc from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
-
Jun 7, 2012The production is just off-kilter enough to set them apart from the folk-rock pack, and they wisely resist the temptation to use their sprawling lineup as an excuse to imitate Arcade Fire.
-
May 29, 2012[Here shows] a true progression without losing any of the magic that made their first album such a breath of fresh air. Simply superb.

May 29, 2012Too many bearded men in isolation have sapped such joy from the genre, but Here brings it back in full.

Jun 7, 2012Few albums dare to even come close to this stunning degree of grandeur, but with Here the Magnetic Zeros not only raise the bar, but easily scale it as well.

May 24, 2012It's hard to say whether Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros has hit their stride with Here, their second album--but it's safe to say that it brings forth just as much energy as the band's 2009 debut, Up From Below.

May 24, 2012An album that is beautifully performed, but which could do with a little more of the sunny disposition that defined the band's first album.
