Truth

After months of being played on Sirius XM, Alex Ebert's solo single, "Truth," has now been unleashed over the internet for listening and downloading. Under the name "Alexander," Alex Ebert leaves the Edward Sharpe alter ego behind for the time being and produces a very similar sound to "Up from Below." Mr. Edward Sharpe has now departed for another stage of higher understanding and enlightenment.

The first sound to catch your ear is the whistling which is reminiscent of "Home" but with a slower and more somber melody. Ebert's hip-hop influences from his teenage years are evident as well in the lyrical delivery. Backed by solid guitar and vocals, Alex Ebert has produced another gem that can satisfy my Edward Sharpe craving until their next release.

Alex Ebert, like fine wine, has gotten better with age since starting in Ima Robot. He has really seems to hit his stride with his solo release and has proved that he can stand on his own two feet without the Magnetic Zeros.

Until next time, stay golden.
