Today’s morning edition features a new Brooklyn group called Here We Go Magic who describe their music like this:
We like the way the name sounds so we set it to music. Our own Luke made a beautiful record and we joined him to make something together. We are creating songs from melodies that can turn from gorgeous to challenging to a little scary and back again. Sounds are driven and shaped by, but hopefully never grounded by, rhythms that entrance before performing a somersault. It all seems silly on paper, but there are no dirty words: groovy, psychedelic, pretty etc… are all fair game. It is our hope that we generate something generous and surprising, crafted but instinctive, even as it coalesces. So far it is a lovely ruckus.
I couldn’t add much more to that, as it neatly describes their music, more vamps then songs, but rather hypnotic. They’re touring in March, and they’re not snubbing Baltimore, so go out and see them if you can.
