Here We Go Magic


Something different than I usually post. No rolling bass lines. No dance your ass off beats. Just a very simple, sweet, indie band tune. I found this track on Fader. They say they're not quite sure why they love it since it has the myriad components of the stereotypical indie rock sound...so why does it grab us? I think it's the way the song is arranged. It's very whimsical yet structured all at once. For me, my mind immediately starts to think of positive things, like love, sunshine, flowers...all the happy crappy shit we tend to forget about when it's a blistering 13 outside and our streets look like a giant snoopy snow cone machine threw up all over our precious city. So what's not to love about that?

Here's what Here We Go Magic has to say about themselves:

"We like the way the name sounds so we set it to music. Our own Luke made a beautiful record and we joined him to make something together. We are creating songs from melodies that can turn from gorgeous to challenging to a little scary and back again. Sounds are driven and shaped by, but hopefully never grounded by, rhythms that entrance before performing a somersault. It all seems silly on paper, but there are no dirty words: groovy, psychedelic, pretty etc... are all fair game. It is our hope that we generate something generous and surprising, crafted but instinctive, even as it coalesces. So far it is a lovely ruckus."

I dig that a lot...let's see what you think. This track is called "Fangela". Now go find some dandelions to blow on. Enjoy!
