"The making of this album has spanned a time of immense
perseverance and, thankfully, co-creation," said frontman Alex Ebert.
"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."

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros formed in
Los Angeles in 2007. They released their debut album, Up From Below,
in July 2009 on Community Music. The album has sold over 275,000 copies
in the US, and charted on iTunes for 69 straight weeks. With its unique
and universal appeal, their hit single "Home" soared to over 775,000
downloads. After intensive touring throughout 2009-2011, including hit
appearances at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Coachella, Edward Sharpe and the
Magnetic Zeros have proven themselves to be a touring force to be reckoned
with. In March 2011, the troupe's lead singer Alex Ebert released his solo
debut album, Alexander, on Community Music, which was written and recorded
during breaks from being on tour as a part of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic
Zeros. The album includes ten brand new songs that Alexander wrote and played
entirely himself. In April 2011, the band embarked on the "Railroad
Revival Tour" with Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show where the
band traveled exclusively in vintage railcars across the American Southwest for
a week and played concerts at unique outdoor locations along the route.
Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros actively support Water Wells
For Africa, Charity Water, APJ Now, Hope Campaign and Voice
Project.
