On May 8th, Here We Go Magic will release their third full-length album, A Different Ship. The new album is produced by Nigel Godrich, who's best known for his work on countless Radiohead albums. The band first encountered Godrich in Glastonbury as he was watching the band perform from the crowd with Thom Yorke. Take a listen to Godrich and Here We Go Magic's collaboration on the new album's first single, "Make Up Your Mind", and download it below for the price of your email. I will say that this one is really really good.
Nigel Godrich had the following to say about the band's performance in Glastonbury: I am a big fan of this band. They work VERY hard. They are very talented individually and collectively. I was turned on to them by Thom Yorke while we were sharing a tipi at Glastonbury and was awoken by their opening set at the park stage. He dragged me along to see them bleary eyed and hung over. They gave an amazing performance for breakfast.
Here We Go Magic front-man Luke Temple on the new album: The music is beautiful, but feels like it’s brittle and about to crack. It’s always suspended in between major and minor, happy and sad, trying to find that middle ambiguous place. A lot of the endings of these songs just kind of stop, like things are left suspended, floating in space. That’s a real characteristic of us as a band -- moving forward, even when we’re sort of unsure, and knowing we’ll find happy accidents along the way.
