Here We Go Magic are happy to share the latest track, ‘Tokyo, London, US, Korea’, taken from the upcoming album Be Small out 16 October on Secretly Canadian.
‘Tokyo, London, US, Korea’ is an off-kilter track with it meandering guitar line and potent syncopation, but as Temple explains, the lyrics and the music exist in juxtaposition, “It’s very linear and dark at the same time”, but the lyrics are about something more non-specific, nothing that “we only like to think and talk about the things and places that everyone else is thinking and talking about…the funny little story of man”.
Recorded and mixed by the band themselves, the “overtly major and optimistic” songs on Be Small are a big leap from the live, expansive sounds of 2012’s Nigel Godrich-produced A Different Ship. Inspired by the likes of Brian Eno and John Cale’s collaborative album Wrong Way Up and Robert Wyatt’s Schleep, this is an album of robust future pop that still continues its route through HWGM’s inimitable path of fidgety prog-rock, blissful melodies and sound collage experimentations but always with a focus on a deep groove.
