Here We Go Magic are well practiced in the art of music progression. Founder Luke Temple initially founded the band as a solo project, but fleshed out his sounds between his self-titled debut LP and last year's understated follow-up "Pigeons". The difference between the two records is one particularly marked by the group's evolution as Temple turned the outfit into a more collaborative effort. Looking back to our review of last year's record, our description of it as "Luke Temple's atmospheric folk takes flight" still rings true upon revisiting the album. read more

Found in: Culture, NewsHere We Go Magic: Pigeons Review
Luke Temple’s atmospheric folk takes flight. It’s been an especially fruitful year for Luke Temple. Since the psych-folk singer re-branded himself as Here We Go Magic in 2009, he’s released a self-titled debut, gained four band members, toured with The Walkmen and fellow Brooklynites Grizzly Bear and crafted a follow-up, Pigeons. The music is richer, more atmospheric and stranger than ever. This sophomore release is more collaborative than his debut, but the main aesthetic—electro-ambience buoyed by airy, dreamlike vocals—remains the same.
