Here We Go Magic is yet another in the seemlessly endless succession of bands out of Brooklyn. Just what is in the water there! This track is "Collector" off the album "Pigeons" and it really reminds me "Crazy Rhythms"-era Feelies and that is high praise indeed. But it's another Feelies-related act that springs to mind when listening to the rest of the album, the almost entirely forgotten Speed the Plough, a brilliant band featuring various Feelies folks which released quite a few good albums and two spectacularly wonderful ones ("Speed the Plough" 1989 and "Wonder Wheel" 1991). I'd really recommend these if you ever see them (sadly they are long out of print). In the meantime check out Here We Go Magic's album - it's definitely one of my faves so far this year.
ADDENUM 7th Aug 2010: I changed the Speed the Plough link above after John from the band informed me they were very much still going and have a current website with info on their activities.
