Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes confirm new album release in July

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes have confirmed they will release a second album in as many years this summer.

The eccentric Californian collective opened the door for a swift follow-up to 2012’s ‘Here‘ when previously detailing that particular record, speaking of ‘two different albums’ which began to take shape as they worked on new material.

“In the middle of the recording process we realized we were essentially making a double album,” Alex Ebert said in that statement, issued last year.

“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.”

The album’s title has yet to be revealed, though it has been pencilled in for a July 23rd release, and is set to be supported with a busy live schedule during the course of 2013.
