New Music From Here We Go Magic

Luke Temple and his band Here We Go Magic are currently sitting on top of the world. They earned spots on all kinds of year end lists with their debut LP last year and pretty much everyone is labeling them the next big thing. Now only a year after their debut release, HWGM are planning to release their sophomore effort, Pigeons, on June 8th via their new label Secretly Canadian. This album will feature collaborations from all band members as opposed to last years album that was basically a Luke Temple solo effort. Below you can find the first sneak peak from the album, “Collector”, which some of you may recognize as a staple of their live sets. After a few spins, I’m ready to call this best new song of the week and a must have album in 2010.
