LISTEN: Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros, 'I Don't Wanna Pray'

It is odd to think that "Home," the 2009 smash single from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' first album, Up From Below, is still introducing listeners to the indie band's homespun, pre-ironic brand of folk music. The song, nearly three years old now, was featured in last month's baby-in-waiting comedy, What To Expect When You're Expecting — a fitting marriage, you might say, for a nostalgic anthem about the coziness of physical intimacy.

Since Up From Below put Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, fronted by singer Alex Ebert, on the map, the band has been hard at work on two albums, both of which are to be released this year. The first is Here, and it's full of tracks that, like "Home," showcase the folksy back-and-forth vocals of Ebert and fellow singer Jade, as well as the band's unique and celebratory instrumentals.

Click here for the video for their latest song, the fittingly titled "I Don't Wanna Pray," courtesy of Virgin Mobile Live's "Higher Calling" video series. A Higher Calling™ is more than just having a great cell phone experience – it's about making ordinary experiences extraordinary.

Speaking of which, you can also download an exclusive MP3 of another single, "Man On Fire," here.
