Looking like throwback hippie commune, the eleven-member, Los Angeles based band Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros are a but a distant reminder of their dance-oriented past. And upon just finishing up their debut record, we’ve got the premiere of the new single “40 Day Dream”.
Their debut album will be available on July 14, but you can grab a three-song digital-only EP on iTunes starting May 19. Along with the album, Edward and Co. will be playing three-date residency at The Regent Theatre in Los Angeles starting this Thursday, April 30, followed by shows there on May 7 and May 14. They were also listed as one of the best bands at SxSW by All Songs Considered. So check out “40 Day Dream” to hear what all the hype is about and extra points if you can name the band they spawned from.
