Up From Below (2009) by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros on Compact Disc.

This band gets a lot of flack for its role in the Stomp Clap Hey genre, especially for the single “Home”—which did gangbusters.

But this is a good album. Hearing that song in context with the rest of the record—instead of bleeding out on FM radio—shows what the band is really good at: folk rock with psychedelic instrumentation and singalong choruses.

I also think this CD sounds excellent.
