This site is a lot of things (see: Bad).
One category it is not: a music blog. Although I am music obsessed, there already exists a plethora of amazing music blogs floating about in the Blogosphere. I fully understand that I have nothing new or valuable to contribute.
Except possibly for today.
Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros has recently started a new side project, Alexander (fitting enough). Alexander’s first track, Truth, although quite different from Edward Sharpe, is every bit as good.
Ninety nine percent of the time, when I need a new song fix, a quick search at The Hype Machine will give me exactly what I’m looking for. As of the writing of this post, this particular song fits into the 1% exception pie slice. Enjoy.
Wow, this is amazing! Do you know any backstory?
I’ve never heard this song before. I love it!
Unfortunately I don’t know too much. What I have heard is that he’s putting together an entire album, but no specifics in terms of release date or anything of the such.
Thanks for the comment on 20sb! I’m glad you like poop, and I’m even more glad you like Witty Title Here. I’m liking TGB, as well. I feel the same about music and blogging. I love music, and I love blogging, but I think I’d be a horrible music blogger. But when you come across something as good as this, you just can’t help but share.

Hey!! Love the blog. Absolutely love the song. The world can always use some good music. =)
Heard this on XMU the other night. They mentioned that an album could be coming out in the Spring, I definitely can’t wait!

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that this album is still Edward Sharpe as en entire band. Any info?
no this is just alexander. I think it’s all him. i remember reading an article saying he created all the sounds himself.
