Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros have unveiled their first new track since 2013 - the sprawling, epic "Hot Coals".
Frontman Alex Ebert says of the collective's return: "We've been on for a while now, but it's like we just turned on a new page in the old book with the inscription: serve your power and work beyond reason."
"Hot Coals", a seven-minute track with Arcade Fire-y tendencies, is the first new material from Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros since 2013's eponymous album.
The new single is out on 20 November, and is the first taste of the group's upcoming fourth studio record.
Check out "Hot Coals" below.
