Luke Temple: Don't Act Like You Don't Care

Don’t Act Like You Don’t Care, Brooklyn songwriter Luke Temple’s third full-length solo album, arrives at an odd time in his career. His second album with psych-pop darlings Here We Go Magic—the colorful, highly polished Pigeons—was released just last year, elevating his typically lo-fi bedroom recording technique to a series of exciting full-band destinations. Don’t Act Like You Don’t Care is a step in the completely opposite direction, downplaying the electricity of his band in favor of nine mostly stripped-down, acoustic meditations—recorded partially on a four-track and utilizing guest players only as occasional window-dressing....  read more

Here 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. With Temple’s sleepy voice, songs like “F.F.A.P.” and “Casual” sound like distorted bedside lullabies. Though Pigeons feels at times...  read more

Luke Temple gives new project Here We Go Magic a go

Last fall, Brookylnite folkie Luke Temple found himself on the road sans band for the first time. “I expect some kind of existential crisis, then catharsis,” he confessed to Paste as he drove around the country in a new Mustang with only a guitar for company. Whether that lonesome road experience is what drove him to his new, more collaborative project, Here We Go Magic, we may never know.  ...  read more

Luke Temple turns to fans for Snowbeast video treatment

It should come as no surprise that recent Artist of the Week Luke Temple—who recorded his 2007 release, Snowbeast, entirely in his Brooklyn apartment—would invoke the words “cheap” and “creative” in his call for aspiring auteurs to craft music videos for his latest LP. (Given his do-it-yourself approach to music-making, one might assume he’d be all about home-growing his own music videos, too. But he’s a nice guy, and probably just doesn’t want to push his neighbor too far, especially after everything she put up with during his most recent living room recording sessions— though surely some New Yorkers would...  read more
