I was initially turned onto Of Monsters and Men by KEXP's live/acoustic video rendition of "Little Talks" last spring. Their style instantly reminded me of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros , mainly due to the call and response dynamic between female and male vocals. I was immediately hooked and couldn't stop listening. Fast forward a few months and the 6-piece Icelandic wonder is back with a proper music video for "Little Talks". The narrative and content play on the band's name, focusing on a fantastical netherworld where a lonely tribe of face-painted [...]
Thanks in part to her ubiquitous 1991 hit single Something To Talk About , Bonnie Raitt became one of the biggest selling female artists of the late '80s/early '90s , but it took the blues singer-songwriter nearly 20 years and 10 albums to finally get the attention and big break that she deserved. On April 10, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer will release her 16th studio album, Slipstream , her first in seven years and the debut album for her own label, Redwing Records. The 12-track record, which Raitt self-produced with [...]

Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour , which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route where the bands performed at unique outdoor venues. The entire [...]

Aaron Embry's solo material has often taken a back seat to his work with other artists — he's been party to albums and tours for a host of A-listers, he produced Avi Buffalo's debut album, and most recently he has played keyboards for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. And his 2008 album as Amnion remains an underground classic. With Edward Sharpe on a bit of break after two years of exhaustive touring, Embry has been holed up in Ojai. The early recordings that have emerged are chillingly beautifu, and although we don't generally post demos, "No [...]
In case you missed it, the lineup for this year's Wakarusa Music Festival was finalized late last week.

Alex Ebert's dedication to writing music showed no signs of slowing down in 2011. Having wowed us with THAT Magnetic Zeros album and resurrected Ima Robot recently he also found time to release his solo album named simply 'Alexander'. Recorded in his off time from touring this album sounds like the stripped down extension of [...]

Our final Top Ten selection comes courtesy of the lovely, and ever radiant, Mrs Mackerel. Over to you girl! It's been a great musical year. But such a plethora of riches always presents a problem – what's a girl to choose? Fortunately some fine contributions in the preceding week means most bases are covered. Live gigs, although few and far between this year, have been rich in quality, and particularly finger-picking good on the guitar front. A fine ensemble of gig friends too, thank you. Without further ado, here's my humble opinion. And remember [...]

This isn't a complicated remix - a hypnotic bass buzzer below with a few electro-glitches on top - but it makes the vocals in it all the more soothing. I love what bass//electo music does to folk songs... as long as they don't go too far with it. But what do y'all think? Got any other Edward Sharpe electro-remixes in ya pocket? Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home (Whole-Z Remix) [...]
Yes they look like Urban Outfitters hippies and have those smiley, sun-drenched harmonies that might come from some Haight Street busking band.
