Review by Dannii Leivers

The front-heavy momentum of Pigeons is enough to ensure that that the dreamy beauty of Here We Go Magic’s debut has been fiercely preserved»

here we go magic is a five-piece band made up of members luke temple, kristina lieberson, michael bloch, jennifer turner, and peter hale. they originally came together in new york in early 2009 through a series of chance encounters, overheard conversations and supernatural occurrences. from disparate musical backgrounds, the five found immediate common inspiration in a collection of unique 4-track recordings created by lead singer luke temple. these recordings were released in february, 2009 as the self-titled 'here we go magic' (western vinyl). since this initial spark the band's creative momentum has been unwavering. together they have developed a broad array of musical material and honed an explosive live sound all their own. they spent much of 2009 on successive north american and european tours with bands such department of eagles, grizzly bear, and the walkmen, before retreating to a house near east branch, ny to record their second full length lp. 'pigeons' released on secretly canadian, was produced and recorded by here we go magic over four months in the late summer and fall of 2009.
