Edward Sharpe isn’t a real person, though I kinda wish he were. Created by lead singer Alex Ebert for a book he was writing about a messianic figure who “was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind…but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love” this mythical figure now leads Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, a band of ten strong whose break-out hit ‘Home’ propelled their first full-length album Up from Below.
The band have just released a new iTunes session which includes the previously unrecorded song ‘Fire & Water.’ You can stream that song below and download three more songs from the session after the jump. Purchase the full iTunes Session here and a deluxe version of their album for only $7.99 here.
