Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros have premiered the studio version of their new single, ‘Man On Fire’, which they first played live at SXSW. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming second studio album, the unoriginally-titled and horribly-front-covered ‘Here’. All that really matters is the tuneski though, so check it out.

Perhaps you did too, because I honestly believe that this is a criminally under-rated band. They’re still one of the best live acts I have ever seen.
