Here We Go Magic

All Music Guide:

Here We Go Magic's creative center, singer/songwriter Luke Temple, first made his name as a muralist, and the Brooklyn band's music fully fits that pedigree. HWGM's ethereal collage of indie folk, baroque pop, and plains country (and whatever else strikes their fancy) lolls back with dizzyingly hypnotic vocals, generating the feel of a vast, splashed-on panorama. Originally from Boston, Temple bounced nomadically about the country before settling in New York City by the mid-2000s. While the bandmembers are cagey about the group's origin, Here We Go Magic had expanded to a quintet by the 2009 release of their self-titled debut on Western Vinyl. The similarly psychedelic pop-inflected Pigeons arrived in 2010, followed by the Secretly Canadian-released January EP in early 2011. The band teamed up with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich for 2012's A Different Ship.

Luke Temple is an American pop-folk singer-songwriter. He records under his own name and with New York-based band Here We Go Magic.

Temple was born in Salem, Massachusetts. After spending time in Northern California, he studied painting at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. After struggling to make a living as visual artist, including painting murals in upscale New York apartments, Temple moved into songwriting and recording. After recording a four song EP himself on a four-track recorder, Temple was signed to Mill Pond Records of Seattle. He would go on to record two full-length albums with Mill Pond, Hold a Match for a Gasoline World (2005) and Snow Beast (2007), before signing with label Secretly Canadian in 2010.

Temple's vocal styles are noted for their use of falsetto, and have been compared to Paul Simon, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake.

His song "Make Right With You" was featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy, season 3's "Where the Boys Are".Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist}} template (see the help page).
