Developed over a two-month period of stream-of-consciousness recording in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Luke's self-titled debut under his new moniker Here We Go Magic is a remarkable departure from his signature singer-songwriter material. Luke recorded the album at home using analog synths, a cassette 4-track, and his trusty SM-57 mic, coloring the sound with warmth and creating textures you want to wrap yourself in.

While the lyrics in spoken word would probably be charming, it's so mixed in to the music that I can't make it all out while I'm listening. I'd say that's the only "downfall" to Luke Temple's new material. The production is light and bouncy, without even realizing it my right foot began to tap to the beat under my desk. That's the moment when I knew I'd be writing about Here We Go Magic.

This debut holds a uniqueness and a freshness which keeps you compelled throughout.
