Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros est un groupe américain formé par Alex Ebert (vocals, guitare, percussion, piano) et Jade Castrinos (vocals, guitare).
Après avoir quitté sa petite amie de toujours et quitté un programme contre l’addiction, Alex Ebert a commencé l’écriture d’un livre sur un personnage messianique appelé Edward Sharpe. Ce dernier “a été envoyé sur Terre pour soigner et sauver l’humanité” mais il est sans cesse distrait par les filles et tombe amoureux.
Le groupe se forme lorsque Alex Ebert rencontre la chanteuse Jade Castrinos en sortant d’un café de Los Angeles. Leur musique est folk, post-hippie, anti-conformiste et ça reste bien dans les oreilles.

Fortement recommandé !
excellente chanson!!
On peux aussi l’entendre dans ce petit clip extrêmement bien fait:
Super ! Merci Arno, je pensais la mettre plus tard mais autant la partager maintenant avec cet article. La musique va très bien sur les images !
Je change le clip officiel pour une version live chez Letterman, histoire de voir le groupe à l’oeuvre.
Et il y a également cette reprise qui a fait le tour de Youtube et de quelques émissions américaines :)
