Here We Go Magic: "Fangela" (MP3)

7:49 p.m. · March 5, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

It is very hard sometimes, to take guys with guitars seriously. They generally want to sound like Ryan Adams or Arcade Fire, both important acts of which we only need one. Maybe Here We Go Magic's Luke Temple has avoided that trap with his reliance on vocals that sound more like an instrument than some beardo's bleeding heart, and drowsy percussion that makes his songs feel like journeys. Maybe I am speaking too soon. I should shut up before Temple puts out his alt-country/Springsteen-influenced master work. [The Fader]
