A Showtune for Hipsters
The wild west hasn't been this strange and enjoyable since Blazing Saddles. In "Home," Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros build a superb arrangement off of rolling percussion, cowboy yells and whistles, and a simple one-track electric guitar. Vocalists Alex Ebert and Jade Castrinos trade verses using traditional western themes of love and death without becoming a cheesy rendition of Annie Get Your Gun.
