You know Alex Ebert. You know him even if you don’t know that you know him. Ebert is best-known to most of us as Edward Sharpe, and his band Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes were the progenitors of the stomp-clap folk movement that you know and love. Earlier this year, there was a whole lot of online chatter about whether their 2010 hit “Home” is the “worst song ever made.” In the wake of all that, our own Chris DeVille had a long, fascinating conversation with Ebert, which also touched on his time in the pre-Edward Sharpe dance-punk band Ima Robot. Now, a lost Ima Robot album is about to get an official release.
