Here We Go Magic – “Falling” Video
Brooklyn future-pop prog-rockers Here We Go Magic are releasing their first new album since 2012’s Nigel Goodrich-produced A Different Ship. This one, their fourth, comes sans a big name producer and was entirely mixed and recorded by the band themselves, hence the title: Be Small. Still, influences of other singular musicians are at work here; the band cites Brian Eno, John Cale’s Wrong Way Up, and Robert Wyatt’s Shleep as inspirations for the new record. Today they’ve shared the first single “Falling” along with the Sam Kuhn-directed video. It’s a flickering, bright song about the joy of falling in love, and it looks like it was shot in New York’s own Rockaways near the beach. The giddiness drops off abruptly at the end, spilling into a quiet and still instrumental section. Watch below and check out their tracklist and tour dates.
