Alter egos of solo musicians never seem to go well (see: Garth Brooks, Beyonce except for that one song, etc.) among the commercially mainstream, but here in our little bubble of a music world, they can be occasionally great (see: Jimmy Tamborello, DJ Touche, etc.). Here We Go Magic may be the next great one, as it's the other recording name of folk singer Luke Temple. Paul Simon comparisons have been thrown about when talking about HWGM's self-titled album, while there is also a sense of Dodos-esque percussion as well as the haunting loop-heavy air about it a la Panda Bear (not that Panda Bear comparisons haven't been played out by now, but it's appropriate in this case). I'm a sucker for all three of the aforementioned things so therefore, I'm a sucker for Here We Go Magic.
