Grade: B+
Musical anachronism Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros has released its second album since becoming folk darlings with the megahit “Home.” But those looking for mawkish duets in the same vein as “Home,” should search elsewhere. Even without romantic serenading, the album does provide a very “Summer of Love” vibe. The record has elements that resemble Elton John and even the Violent Femmes, but overall have a sound straight out of the psychedelic ’60s. The musical experimentation is top-notch with everything from trumpet to marimba. Unfortunately, main female singer Jade Castrino’s silky voice is largely absent, with the exception of “Remember to Remember.” With powerful crescendos and clean music editing, the eponymous record is a solid installment. Just have some spare time to listen  — the album clocks in at nearly an hour long.
