Posted in music | tour dates on January 16, 2009
"To date, Luke Temple has been unconfined by genre. His full-length debut Hold a Match for a Gasoline World presented heartfelt folk tunes and expansive pop numbers filtered through a unique outsider perspective. Last year's follow-up Snowbeast was an avant statement full of interwoven light and dark imagery recorded entirely in his Brooklyn bedroom.The rebranded Luke Temple has a bunch of shows coming up including some with Department of Eagles which includes the sold out show at Bowery Ballroom on January 19th. There's also February 15th at Southpaw, March 3rd at Le Poisson Rouge, SXSW, and a whole bunch of non-NYC/Austin dates across the country, BUT FIRST the old-original-actual Luke Temple will be playing a solo show tonight, January 16th, at Le Poisson Rouge with Jonah Smith.Developed over a two-month period of stream-of-consciousness recording in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Luke's self-titled debut under his new moniker Here We Go Magic is a remarkable departure from his signature singer-songwriter material. Luke recorded the album at home using analog synths, a cassette 4-track, and his trusty SM-57 mic, coloring the sound with warmth and creating textures you want to wrap yourself in." [says Luke's PR/bio]
Definitely check out the three tracks streaming at MySpace. All dates below...

"...an avant statement full of interwoven light and dark imagery..."
"...a two-month period of stream-of-consciousness recording..."
Wow! Sounds like shit!
And by the names of those album titles, it sounds like he went to the same grammar school as Alanis Morissette. (Don't worry about syntax! People will think it's poetic!)

Where the hell did that write-up come from? What an overwrought, high-schooly embarrassment.

WTF are you Lester Bangs? Chuck Klosterman? Bob Boilen?
I see nothing wrong with that write-up whatsoever and actually think it's quite good.
Music is awesome too!

Probably the same people who wrote:

im starting a blog, and its music review reviews. only criticism of music criticism. a postmodern take on a stagnant literary medium. i give this one a solid B+.

"Family Vacation" by Luke Temple is one of my favorite songs of all time, and "Snowbeast" was mostly pretty great. I would likely follow his music anywhere... but yeah, "stream-of-consciousness recording" is not a phrase that gets most people excited. His PR team isn't helping.

If it warmth your looking for theres the Byrds reunion album from 73...it's all about Gene's songs and Crosby voice back on them...that and the Neil covers...and for "free". Just unplug the tv tonite and screw in an orange light bulb...
