Up From Below is an album to be commended, even if it might lead to the scourge of other hippie hipsters appearing in buses across the nation.
-
UncutThey deliver a debut of confidence and conviction. [Oct 2009, p.112]
-
This is intoxicating psych-indie for heady days in unbroken sunshine.
-
FilterVoid of irony but sounding slightly inauthentic, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes hit the right notes but may be a little late to the revival. [Summer 2009, p.96]
-
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros have crafted a love letter to Laurel Canyon and all of its quasi-mystic juju that is as infuriatingly contrived and retro as it is forward-thinking and majestic.
-
The group's attempts to evoke Age of Aquarius utopianism are suffocated by self-consciousness; the record feels like an art-college thesis.
-
Weird to say about a hippie, but it's humanity that's missing in Sharpe's mild but mannered and certainly unmemorable music, which feels focus-grouped, stone-washed, and artificial.
