Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros will release their debut live album on October 9th via Community Music. The collection includes cuts taken from the band’s shows, festivals, and studio sessions. The band is putting final touches on their fourth LP due out in early 2016 on Community Music. It will be their first completely independent release. |

You can watch “If I Were Free” from their Daytrotter session in Troy, OH here: |
Frontman Alex Ebert is excited about the impending release:
To our amazement, it’s been seven years since our first show. We’ve grown up in that time. Beauty and heartache and joy stretched over that time. Our wills were tested and maybe even bested in that time. But mostly what a triumph that time has been…
We smiled “so much my face hurts”, as you’ll hear. We stressed plenty too, frowned and pained, but mostly we were doubled over laughing or riding our bicycles – and danced – we did a lot of dancing. And we played.
We went from friends to family in that time. We became (and I hold this word as near-sacred) a Band in that time. And here is an album that spans that time.
20 songs from that 7 year frame, as tips of the hat to that time we shared with you – our of appreciators, our co-conspirators, our people.
Love,
– Alex
All proceeds from the album go to the band’s not-for-profit 501(c)3 Big Sun Foundation, which is dedicated to facilitating more sustainable and communal living throughout the world.
