Post Description

After listening to 'A Different Ship' you might think, "wow, this really reminds me of Radiohead for some reason." Little wonder then that the band have brought in Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich for their latest offering. However, this is to their credit as Here We Go Magic share Radiohead's adeptness at carrying beautiful and genuinely moving melodies, and instrumentals which become warped with electronic embellishments. Even singer, Luke Temple, sounds pretty similar to Thom Yorke when he opts for that cracked falsetto of his (check out 'Alone But Moving' in particular). There is quite a painful melancholy that permeates 'A Different Ship', so Godrich seems like a perfect fit with the band on their third outing.
 
'A Different Ship' is a fantastic effort because it genuinely blurs the genres that so many others claim they already do, but don't really do particularly well. In an age where a person's exposure to different types of music has increased exponentially, the artistic challenge of being innovative and achieving timelessness has also increased. With 'A Different Ship', Here We Go Magic seem well up to this task. Highly recommended.
