Seattle singer-songwriter Luke Temple’s debut, Here We Go Magic, was quite a surprise to last year’s indie rock community. was a special record with dreamy soundscapes and an echoing chamber-pop sound that is both haunting and catchy. It’s an aurally visual record that isn’t enjoyable as just a casual listen. You need to work to visualize Temple’s material and once you do, you will be rewarded with a fantastically imaginative album.
