HERE WE GO MAGIC

Here We Go Magic will release their new album, Be Small, on October 16 via Secretly Canadian. Eno/Cale’s Wrong Way Up and Roberty Wyatt’s Shleep were touchstones for the LP, according to main man Luke Temple who adds that most of the songs are “overtly major and optimistic.” That’s certainly the case with the instantly catchy “Falling,” which sets a rush of acoustic guitars over a skittering beat and joyous chorus. This is my idea of a summer single, and you can definitely hear the Wrong Way Up influence here. The video, made by director Sam Kuhn, is a lot of fun too.

Listening to Big Thief is like the feeling of looking at a dog and suddenly marveling that it is like you but very not like you; when you are accustomed to looking at a dog and thinking ‘dog’, watching or listening to Big Thief is like forgetting the word ‘dog’ and looking at that naked animal and getting much closer to it and how different it is to you.
