Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ album “Up From Below” is getting the epic treatment cinematically. The songs are being used as the backdrop for a 12-part music video series titled “Salvo!” and directed by Matt Amato. The storyline seems very “Mad Max” (in a Magnetic Zeros kind of way, of course) but the cinematography and music are enough to keep you riveted. In the series’ third segment, “40 Day Dream,” we are told: “Edward and Brother hiding out in the desert after their violent jail-break. Jade, having received a telepathic message from Brother, brings them to meet the rest of the Magnetic Zeros. Edward is welcomed by his new family and his troubles are briefly lifted by a healing vision of togetherness. After a night of revelry, Edward is awakened by Angel.” Befuddled? Don’t be, just check out the first two installments.
