Alex Ebert

NEW Album: | vs | / Focus track: I Smoke
 Energetic  Focus  Happy 

LA-bred, New Orleans-based Alex Ebert is a musician, filmmaker, activist and father. He founded the bands Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros and Ima Robot, and won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score in 2014 for his work on All Is Lost. Ebert established himself as one of alternative music’s leading voices with a folksy, whimsical musicality and a surreal onstage persona that has garnered praise from SPIN, Consequence of Sound, Variety, KCRW, and The New York Times. A social activist, Ebert is the founder of Big Sun Foundation, which specializes in facilitating Community Land Trusts. He is also the CEO of crowd-sourced social radio app Tuners, contributed a song to Shia Labeouf-written 2019 drama Honeyboy, and is writing a book called 'Kingdom Cool'. He resides in New Orleans, Louisiana. ‘I vs. I’ (out January 31st via Community Music & AWAL). The eclectic collection of songs is a sprawling examination of existence tackling subjects that pre-occupy mankind, from love and sex (“Her Love”, “Fluid”) to the passage of time and the chase for eternal youth (“Automatic Youth”). On ‘I vs. I’, Alex crafts a story about “personal futurism” via the creation of an anti-hero moving through an increasingly unfamiliar world. Tackling these heady topics with a range of sounds just as immense, from the fun-punk sound that fans of Ima Robot are familiar with to more doleful indietronic folk reflections in the vein of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, this indie folk mainstay’s second solo record following 2011’s ‘Alexander’ solidifies his place among the pantheon of alternative music’s finest.

And, the intro is supposed to resemble the beginning of a four hour long epic drama-comedy that never made it to the cinemas".
