Quote:

Edward Sharpe was never an alter-ego for me. It got misperceived that way because of a bio I wrote that accidentally instilled this idea into every journalist. At the end of the Ima Robot era, I’d forgotten how to write a song without thinking of pleasing other people. I’d forgotten the joy of writing songs, and the first Edward Sharpe album was me getting back to childlike — not business-oriented — songwriting. And in going back to my childhood, what I thought about musically was my elementary school music teacher… the recorders, and “If I Had a Hammer,” and poor tambourine playing, and some guitar, and lots of children singing. -Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes (via Spin)

weird. ive had that mindset, that it was his alter ego at some point in time, for as long as i have known about esmz. so now its not?

i really want to wash his clothes, make them a crisp white again. but thats just my fashion ocd kicking in.
