Sometimes, even at CoS, we get behind in our music listening. For instance, I still haven’t gotten around to getting a copy of Here We Go Magic‘s self-titled debut from last year. And it sounds like the New York five piece is right up my alley. They’ve toured with Grizzly Bear and The Walkmen, two pretty good names to be associated with, and are known for their creative sound and memorable live shows. But I figured I’d have more time to become acquainted before they released the followup.

Unfortunately for me (but fortunately for you!), Here We Go Magic has already completed its sophomore record and will release it on June 8th via Secretly Canadian. Titled Pigeons, it was recorded in East Branch, NY and will be be accompanied by a full-on assault on music halls across the globe. First up? South by Southwest (including a show at Urban Outfitters so you hipsters can maintain maximum efficiency), followed by an opening spot with Spoon Jr. (White Rabbits).

Check out the tracklist and tour itinerary below. Grab a sneak peak of the track titled “Collector” here.

June is soon, so I better get busy.
