Well, we already know about one Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros album, titled Here and due out on May 29th. Now, the band has made it known that they will be releasing a second album by the end of the year. Frontman Alex Ebert explains:
In the middle of the recording process we realized we were essentially making a double album. Being four years since our last album, the writing explored a wide variety of subject and sound, as it turned out we had a lot to say. Instead of putting it out all at once, we found that two different albums seemed to be forming. Alone these albums are albums. Together these albums express a varying and so relatively living portrait of our lives.
He says more, but it gets into some really heavy hippie talk. Rather than bother you with that, why not check out a radio rip of first single “Man On Fire,” which premiered earlier on KCRW and The NJ Underground caught. We also have the current Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros tour dates below.
