"Truth" and "Million Years" from Alexander's upcoming self titled album due out March 1st, 2011

Alexander Ebert, lead singer of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, will be releasing his debut solo album Alexander on March 1st via Community Music (RoughTrade will release the album in Europe on February 28th). The album will include ten brand new songs that Alexander wrote and composed entirely himself. The track-list for the album can be found below.

During breaks from touring with the Zeroes over the past year, Alexander began building and recording the pieces that would become the songs for this album alone in his bedroom. Before this album, all of the music he worked on had been collaborative, especially with the 10-person Magnetic Zeroes. “I wanted to be able to build an album basically with my hands, like building a house by myself,” Alexander remarked of his inspiration for making this album without outside help. 

There isn’t a single sound on the ten-song album that Alexander didn’t perform himself. Alone in his room, he had his guitar, a Lowery organ he picked up at a St. Vincent’s thrift store in Los Angeles for seventy bucks, a clarinet he used for the bridge on the record’s first single, “Truth,” and a violin he’d found somewhere in Tucson on tour. He had his own voice, his breath, his knees to slap, his fingers to snap and his toes to tap. When he knew that he wanted to use a violin on the bridge of “Glimpses,” he had an urge to call a friend to come play it for him, but then questioned why he wouldn’t try it himself. Says Alexander, “To me, it’s a very humble album with sky’s-the-limit sort of qualities, and so I didn’t really shy away from doing whatever I felt like doing.” 

As for the music itself, Alexander explains that some of the inspirations for the “mouth sounds” that you can hear throughout the record were from all-time- favorites of his like the 1970 chart-topping ditty “In The Summertime” by British band Mungo Jerry. He also notes that children’s clapping games like Patty Cake and infectious and optimistic Disney tunes like “Zip A Dee Do Da” served as loose inspirations for him.
Alexander will play select shows before returning to the studio to complete work on the upcoming second LP from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, which will be released later this year.

You Are The Moon- The Hush Sound

Taken from 'Thinking in Textures'

IM INTO YOU
I gotta feeling we are gonna win
our bodies make it perfect 
and your eyes can make me swim

then again everything seems knew
I can barely hold my tongue
to say the least I'm into you

and your eyes
are saying more than we can talk and warmer than the bedroom sport
and your thighs are kisses from the outside, girl thats all i need

i'll take it down the other road
to breathe in something more

I find it harder to ignore
the things I want you for


*
I know you don't want
I love you can sing
the music was at the start
dododo   

the rhythm was all
I needed to hear
a woman can treat my heart
dododo


when i press an ear up to your breast
I can hear the rhythm start
its hard to tell our beats apart

so I hope your listening right now
cause I can barely hold my tongue
the shit we do could warm the sun

at night
twisted in a melting fall and sleeping with the scratching claws
your words
let me know your feeling me and seeing all the things I see

i'll take it down the other road
to breathe in something more

I find it harder to ignore
the things I want you for

I know you don't want
I love you can sing
the music was at the start
dododo   

the rhythm was all
I needed to hear
a woman can treat my heart
dododo

I'm Into You

'A starry-eyed house experience that fits seamlessly into a soulful, deep-felt dancefloor dynamic. Swells of low end surge into a crisp, percussive breakdown that never seems to shift too abruptly, leaving Arnalds' & Frahm's original melody work to come humming through the compressed kick in a blissful wave of moonlit elegance' – XLR8R

'A hazy slow-builder that sits nicely equidistant between Arnalds’ solo work and his excellent Kiasmos project' – The Line Of Best Fit

Erased Tapes label mates Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm record and mix their first collaborative record between Reyjkjavík and Berlin as a surprise release for label founder Robert Raths.

The ambient/electronic work ‘Stare’ is a true family effort from Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm with Anne Müller joining in on cello and all graphics by close label-friend and now in-house designer Torsten Posselt of Feld Studios.

This release will be strictly limited and exclusively available on Record Store Day 2012, April 21st. Coinciding with the 5th Anniversary of Erased Tapes, it’s also available from the official Erased Tapes online store and sure to become a must-have for fans of the label and these two artists.

كلمات: فادي الراعي

على رغم الجو المشحون تبعًا للظرف المرهون
مطرح ماعيونك بتكون بحلم شوفك يومًا ما

بكرة يخلص هالكابوس بدل الشمس بتضوي شموس
وعلى أرض الوطن المحروس راح نتلاقى يومًا ما

مع إنه وضعك مهزوز ومرات بحسك مرهوز
لازم تعقل مابيجوز إذا مو هلأ يومًا ما

على رغم الجو المشحون تبعًا للظرف المرهون
مطرح ماعيونك بتكون بحلم شوفك يومًا ما

بعدك مهضوم ومحتال واللي مثلك صارو قلال
كيف مابرمت هل الأحوال بدي حبك يومًا ما

على رغم الجو المشحون تبعًا للظرف المرهون
مطرح ما عيونك بتكون بحلم شوفك يومًا ما

من ألبوم: يومًا ما ..

Lyrics:
I've been trying to pretend
That death is my friend
Oh, this life 
Yes, this life ain't for me now
 
I've been lying to myself
Not to nobody else
Oh, this life
Yes, this life ain't for me now
No
 
LIAR 
I'm telling the truth to y'all
HIGHER 
Gonna give a little proof to y'all
HIGHER 
I'm gonna jump in the fire
 
Well I walked into black
Said I weren't coming back
Saw my angel in blue
She tell me "This life ain't for you"
Oh, this life
Tell it to me - this life ain't for me now
 
I woke up feeling new
'Cause now I know this life is for you
Yes, this life
Oh, this life ain't for me now
It's for you!
 
LIAR
I'm telling the truth to y'all
HIGHER
I'm gonna give a little proof to y'all
I'm gonna jump into the fire!
