The band's first full-length recording, Up from Below, was released July 7, 2009 digitally and July 14, 2009 physically on Vagrant Records. Its first show as a full band was played July 18, 2007 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.
After breaking up with his girlfriend, moving out of his house, and joining a 12-step program for addiction, Ebert began work on a story about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. According to Ebert, Sharpe "was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind ... but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love." Ebert later met singer Jade Castrinos in Los Angeles, California, United States. In the summer of 2009, as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Ebert and Castrinos toured the country with a group of fellow musicians in a big white school bus.
Its song "Home" was voted number 15 on the Australian Triple J Hottest 100's 2009 countdown, the largest music poll in the world.

I Come In Please
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics
Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don't show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow
Daddy's on the mountain yellin' at the bloody sky
Mama's in the mirror actin' out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin' "everybody dies"
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
Clap
All hail to death's boy-wonder
JJ's in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo's thowin' Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin' merry weather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Sometimes said it's sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I've known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion
Now Jadey's on the mountain singing "We will never die"
The band is in the rainbow playin' love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin' at the paper sky
And I am only "I am" now I've opened up my eye
I am only "I am" that I've opened up my eye
Sometimes said its sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin' to ya
Rain or shine
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
All the same its conscience waiting
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don't show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow
Daddy's on the mountain yellin' at the bloody sky
Mama's in the mirror actin' out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin' "everybody dies"
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
Clap
All hail to death's boy-wonder
JJ's in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo's thowin' Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin' merry weather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Sometimes said it's sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I've known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion
Now Jadey's on the mountain singing "We will never die"
The band is in the rainbow playin' love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin' at the paper sky
And I am only "I am" now I've opened up my eye
I am only "I am" that I've opened up my eye

Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin' to ya
Rain or shine
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
All the same its conscience waiting

“Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once; just once, understand.” - this song

My dad fought in Vietnam and my mom was a hippie who protested the Vietnam War, and my mom heard this song and thought it was a band from her high school years in the late 60s LOL I made her a huge fan of this band! I actually bought this album on vinyl and that's the only way my mom and I like to listen to it because she said it feels nostalgic to her.
@chadyou812
This song almost has a Zero7 feeling its absolutely wonderful
@rustleskate
The album Up From Below is probably the best thing that has happened to the human race ever...
