Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, of second-most-popular “hipster song with the whistling” fame (a.k.a. “Home”) (the first would be “Young Folks”), are set to release their second album, Here, on May 29, and they debuted its first single last week on KCRW. This is a radio rip, but the surprise didgeridoo comes through nice and clear. Also: their website is not what you’d expect.

Elsewhere: New Sigur Ros, “Ekki Múkk.”
