Luke Temple was honored with our CD of the Month title back in 2007, when he was a solo artists singing folky tunes dressed electronically. In 2008, what appeared initially to be a side project involving a bunch of friends – called Here We Go Magic – gained momentum thanks to an ecstatic Pitchfork review (of course); since then the band has become Luke’s main project. 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, which is scheduled to be released in June on Secretly Canadian. If you can’t wait to get this record, we recommend you to check out Luke’s solo material – it’s absolutely stunning.
