Here We Go Magic has teamed up with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich for their third studio album, as Stereogum reports. The follow-up to 2010′s Pigeons, the as-yet-untitled LP was recorded in London and Los Angeles, and is due out later this year via Secretly Canadian.
Speaking with Stereogum, Here We Go Magic frontman Luke Temple said the band first met Godrich following a performance at Glastonbury. “It was early in the morning as people were just waking up or were still awake and tired from the night before. There were a few scattered people watching us and then [Godrich and Thom Yorke] standing down in the front. So we met Nigel there and then we started playing shows in London and in France and he came to every one of them.”
The band began recording with Godrich in 2011, first in L.A. and later in London. Stereogum described the new album as “restrained and beautiful and spacious,” while Temple called it “much more organic” than Pigeons.
“I’m sure there will be haters saying it’s a slick sound, but actually this record is much more organic. This album is just us,” Temple explained. “There was a lot of songs that we recorded on Pigeons that are great recorded but took a lot of concentration to get them right since they’re a little bit out of my range. On this album I made a point to sing just within my comfortable range. I was thinking about performing this music and having it be the easiest most graceful translation from album to live show.”
At the moment, Here We Go Magic’s only upcoming tour date is an appearance at London’s Field Day on June 2nd. Stay tune for additional album details and tour dates. In the meantime, check out their video for “Collector” from Pigeons below.
