It's really good. I'm glad "Home" is kind of taking off as a single (even though it's not an official single).
So weird he's the dude from IMA Robot.

man, they play "home" a lot on the station around here. THE RIVER. that's the station. i liked it the first time i heard it. kinda cute kinda clever kinda catchy.
watching the video i can't believe these guys aren't from martha's vineyard. they should be.

I hadn't seen them until just now. The last time I checked, they didn't really have any real videos.

That Letterman clip is pretty fucking good. They remind me of the Mekons or something. I got sick of hearing this song on the NFL commercials and decided to investigate. Is the album worth checking out?

Is the album worth checking out?
I think so. It's got a really great run of songs for the first 2/3rds and then sort of trails off at the end.
Another one of their songs is in the Ford Focus commercial, btw (where the people are holding arrow signs and dancing around the car).

I Googled after seeing th NFL commercials too *blushes*

i hear this "home" song all the fucking time and it's really starting to bug me
― teledyldonix, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 17:32 (fifteen years ago)
i was wondering why that song seemed familiar.
this really isn't a band for me. listened to album about two and a half times, was enough.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 04:37 (fifteen years ago)
it's a good band

I see this album EVERYWHERE, but I don't think I've knowingly heard a single song. Had no idea this was the dude from Ima Robot until today.

Which, by the way, if you've ever wanted to hear an L.A. band that formerly specialized in glossed up post-punk do their own take on Animal Collective (and I can't imagine that anyone ever would want to do this willingly) then you should check out "Pass It On" from the new Ima Robot disc.

Congrats, Edward & co! You are my new hate-on for the forseeable future.

what a terrible fucking band!
honestly if you can manage to make mid-60s psych/garage pastiche, something i generally just find likeable even if it's mediocre, intolerable to me you are really really bad

i dont think ive ever heard these dudes, but one of them endorses a guitar line we sell, so i wish them huge and international success

but i'm sure their guitars are nice!
why they are the best thanks for asking *signs up for edward sharpe street team*
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:35 (twelve years ago)
who makes these great sounding Edwin Sharpe endorsed guitars, which i understand are a tremendous value for the money?
― hello :) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:37 (twelve years ago)
wow there are actually positive words about "home" on here
― dyl, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 19:52 (twelve years ago)
Saw their Letterman appearance and couldn't believe they existed: found the whole thing's an act (a conscious one, anyway) and it did not make it better
― albvivertine, Friday, 23 August 2013 08:13 (twelve years ago)
Whoa I just realizaed the only song I actually know from them is Home. I thought Of Monsters nd Men 'Little Talks' and Lumineers 'Hey Ho' was also them since its the same kind of band and song... the three of them have those 'hey' before the chorus, kept thinking they should think of another songwriting trick.
