Here We Go Magic, a band who reached a collaborative peak with their 2009 debut Here We Go Magic is back again with a new LP, Pigeons out today on Secretly Canadian! The five-piece band made up of members Luke Temple, Kristina Lieberson, Michael Bloch, Jennifer Turner, and Peter Hale had a whirlwind 2009; they spent most of the year touring with Department of Eagles, Grizzly Bear, and the Walkmen before retreating to a house in East Branch, NY to record Pigeons.

In my opinion, Pigeons is more groove-based and dreamy than the first LP; in fact, the band and producer/member Jen Turner were going for a hazier and richer sounds. Pigeons is more of a journey than the first album, a puzzling and odd journey full of pop, new wave, and great songwriting by member Luke Temple.

In addition, Here We Go Magic will be touring with (at select dates), Dr. Dog and Beach Fossils for the rest of 2010; in addition, the band will also be playing the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago this Sunday.
