"Better Days" came out in July 2013 on Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros' self-titled album. Alexander Ebert wrote it with Nico Aglietti and produced it himself, then mixed it together with engineer Matt Linesch, which kept the whole thing close to home. The title promises sunnier weather somewhere up ahead, and the credits say this one was Ebert's show from the first chord to the final mix.
