iTunes Review
Its difficult to figure out if Up From Below is making fun of Los Angelino hipsters who are trying to recreate the cultish California canyon-rock sound of the late '60s – early '70s, or if it’s totally emulating it. Either way, there’s no denying that Sharpe and his 11-piece ensemble of robed weirdo longhairs are having a good time and successfully recreating a bygone sound with zero musical anachronisms that would let people of the future know that this was recorded in 2010 and not 1969. Blending some of the Free Design’s lysergic optimism with the Incredible String Band’s penchant for hoisting high the freak flag and some more-disturbing-than-Devendra lyrics, “40 Day Dream” opens like the Polyphonic Spree never happened. A choir of womanly psychedelic singers on “Janglin” recalls moments of the Manson family (Charlie’s not Marilyn’s), while the title-track would sit right at home with any of those early-‘00s freak-folk bands that graced the covers of Arthur magazine. Sharpe’s girlfriend Jade Castrinos duets on the infectious “Home.” Of the bonus tracks, the spacey “Carries On” stands out most.

Make the Best Better
The Up From Below album was amazing and the deluxe edition makes it better. This band is an oasis to your ears. Let your ears be happy. Listen to them.
Dislike!
I didn't like Ima Robot and this is quite honestly no better. Thanks, Alex Ebert, for offering one semi-solid track and a host of uninteresting songs! Next time it might be better if Ebert creates a persona that actually invokes emotion and depth with his music, rather than a bunch of tracks that offer listeners a 70s vibe and nothing else.
To the reviewer Smoothsta, I appreciate your concern for my soul, and would like to assure you that it's intact. That being said, I can understand why people would think "Home" is great, it's just that the entire album appears contrived once one actually delves into the background of the lead singer, who is Ebert from Ima Robot. It's as if he first asked himself how to make an album with a 70s vibe and then the music came later, rather than allowing the lyrics to come from his soul.
