Last year, my first mp3 post of the year was Ladyhawke. Kinda makes u wonder why HRO keeps 'mp3 blogging.' I am just searching for 'the next relevant sound' to align my personal brand with for the next _ months.

HERE WE GO MAGIC is a band from Brooklyn, the home of most successful/authentic bands. The song is kinda 'lofi' and 'earthy.' Here is the band's ABOUT ME description, and I think they sound 'earnest about their conceptual existence/experimental sound project which unfortunately is classified as mainstream 'music'' to emerge as the world's next Grizzly Bear / Animal Collective:

here we go magic's first record was recorded by Luke Temple, it is a project based on non editing linear movement. He made it quick and with a very limited palate of equipment. It has many layers and is best experienced with head phones or in a car.It is also important to note that there was no electronic looping of any kind involved in the more "song" oriented numbers on the record, it is important to say this because there is an in-perfect breath that might otherwise go unnoticed. He feels it has good energy and emotion and hopes you do too. Now, the seed of this recording has sprouted a band consisting of Luke: guitar, synth,vox Baptiste Ibar:bass,sounds Peter Hale:drums, sounds. The band is becoming it's own thing. We feel that the name"here we go magic" implies freedom to re-create and that is the main purpose of this project. we hope you enjoy. Luke,Peter,Baptiste

(The parts in red make their band organically authentic/gimmickable for 2k9 and beyond.)
