Here We Go Magic - Pigeons
Reviewed by yewknee
I bet good money this will fly under so many people's radars for all the year end lists and that's a damn shame because this is a great step forward for the band. Listening to the album I am struck with the perfect balance of both being quite upbeat and incredible laid back - a formula that works for Spoon quite well, albeit in a very different context. I'm not going to get all heady on this but I love Luke Temple's voice, the simple drums, the spacey keyboards and the positive and languid vibe of the whole thing. Oh, and the lock groove on the vinyl is a super nice touch too. [www.secretlycanadian.com]
