It took them quite a while, but Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have finally released the follow up to 2009’s Up From Below.  Though it was originally slated to be a double album, the band decided to split the material into two separate full lengths.  Here was released at the end of last month and the next is planned for a late 2012 release.  So while we wait for the release, the band will be touring quite extensively around Europe and North America in support of both albums.  Check the dates below and be sure to head to the band’s tour page for tickets and such.
