Following on from the immense success of their 2009 debut ‘Up From Below’, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are set to release their sophomore album HERE on May 29. Enigmatic frontman Alex Ebert says of the new album:
“The making of this album has spanned a time of immense perseverance and, thankfully, co-creation. Making this album has been a test of our faith in ourselves and in the universe, and brought us closer together and in greater harmony with one another… A deluge of music has been written and recorded, and we are intensely excited to share it with anyone who wants to feel it.”
If you can’t wait to get your hands on the album, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have an exclusive 7” Vinyl Record Store Day release with two brand new songs that won’t appear on the album – out April 21 and limited to record stores only.
The leading single, “That’s Whats Up” has those infectious, unashamedly happy catchy hooks that ‘Up From Below’ had in spades – along with a heavy uniting Gospel and Bluegrass feel.
