Luke Temple is a singer with immense talent. If you are a fan of his solo work or not, you have to at least appreciate his ability as a singer, which is nothing short of impressive. His two albums to date have been very introspective bedroom folk pop that requires some patience to fully appreciate.

Temple is stepping outside of those boundaries for his new project though, Here We Go Magic. For this adventure, Temple has enlisted a wide variety of sounds and emotions to make up the self titled album. Luke still recorded things at home, but used analog synths, a cassette 4-track, and a SM-57 mic to get the album where he wanted it.

The results are multi-layered experimental pop music that, when combined with Temple’s voice, make this an album I can easily recommend. The record is due out February 24th on Western Vinyl and HWGM is also hitting the road with Department Of Eagles for some shows, all of which are listed after the jump.

You can also catch Here We Go Magic here in Cincinnati on March 10th for a show at Southgate House.
