Their songwriting hints at the soul-influenced pop-rock of the ’70s and ’80s if acid were the drug of the day

A fantastic album that is at once inseparable from its Brooklyn beginnings and transcendental of its place in time and space. It's a fever dream, a dance party, and a little bit of melancholic soul

Under The Radar
Pigeons has a definitive '70s vibe, with a retro-futuristic sound that relies heavily on bass, synth, and tinny drums. "Land of Feeling" could easily be from the land of Ziggy Stardust

Even in a crowded field this summer, chockfull of musical juggernaunts releasing albums, Pigeons will likely catch people's attention. And those people will be glad it did

Here We Go Magic are doing something more interesting - something weirder; they're trying out takes on jittery new wave, tone-smeared dream-pop, and high-pitched Kiwi pop with success

It sounds more like a lot of indie pop sounds nowadays. It doesn’t boast behemoth swaths of noise like “Ghost List” or the indescribable wave motion of “Tunnelvision.”

Luke Temple may still have several rough patches to smooth out in his songwriting process, but with Here We Go Magic’s subtly enchanting second record, it sure is fun to listen to him work out the kink
