MP3: Here We Go Magic – Collector

Here We Go Magic’s debut record was on repeat for most of my last summer. The combination of sampled, distorted loops, and genuine folk songwriting made a perfect soundtrack for hazy summer afternoons at the beach, or falling asleep on my patio sofa.  The band is set to release their next record, Pigeons, in June, and the first single is an absolute gem. The band’s debut record was written and recorded by band leader Luke Temple, and this song is already showcasing a more full, polished sound. In some cases this may be a bad thing, but with “Collector”, you can tell that the band’s talent is undeniable, and that their lo-fi sound wasn’t the only redeeming factor. So listen to this track with some headphones, you’ll thank me later.

Pigeons is out June 8, by way of Secretly Canadian.
