After dropping on radars as a singular singer-songwriter type, Brooklyn’s Luke Temple shifted course, scrubbing his name from the masthead for his next solo endeavor: Here We Go Magic. Cue internet praise. On this new project and its self-titled LP, the organizing principle is less Luke’s alluring, wispy vocal androgyny and more patterns in sound, often repetitive folk-guitar figures buried in the fuzz of his 4-track, percussion, and analog synths. “Tunnelvision” is the first single, tapping all those points, and getting a video that is every bit as sketchily psychedelic and vaguely evocative as its source track. Peking and Snejina Latev direct.

    I’m really impressed. HWGM is going to blow up. It’s not common that a video’s imagery has a relationship to the music in the way this does. Really sinks into you.

    Heard this song first on Sirius Channel 26 last week and was immediately hooked. Looked up HWGM as soon as I got back from vacation. Best.
