Jul 23, 2015 By Christopher Roberts Here We Go Magic

Here We Go Magic have announced a new album, Be Small, and have shared the video for its first single, “Falling.” Be Small is due out October 16 via Secretly Canadian. It’s the band’s first full-length since 2012’s Nigel Godrich-produced A Different Ship, although in 2013 frontman Luke Temple released a great (and criminally underappreciated) solo album, Good Mood Fool.

Be Small, as the title suggests, finds the band scaling back; self-producing, self-recording, and mixing the album themselves. The band, which at one point was a five-piece, is now a duo featuring Temple and Michael Bloch. A press release says the band was inspired by Brian Eno and John Cale’s Wrong Way Up and Robert Wyatt’s Shleep. Check out the retro-looking Sam Kuhn-directed video for “Falling” below, followed by the album’s tracklist, the band’s tour dates, and Be Small‘s cover art. (Also read our 2013 interview with Temple.)
