Some people are just too happy for their own good. You can see them leaving the house, or probably the commune in their case, with Birkenstocks on their feet, greeting all the trees on their way into town where they give everyone they encounter a big hug. Usually it’s a recipe for disaster when people like that start making music. Just think of The Polyphonic Spree and you’ll know what I mean. It’s a whole big bunch of nothing… some happy sounds, no songs.
On first glance Edward Sharpe and his friends, the Magnetic Zeros, are like that. But then you find out that there are actually well-written pop songs hidden underneath the hippie vibe that will put a big, fat smile on your face.
Score : 6.5 out of 10
