Luke Temple’s songs tend to sneak up on you, blindsiding with the sweetness of their vocal cadences and the hypnotic grind of their art-funk rhythms. But Be Small, his fourth album as Here We Go Magic, really tests your patience. Unlike 2012’s A Different Ship, which put its hi-fi budget to proper use with Nigel Godrich’s vivid production, the self-produced, appropriately titled Be Small is a work of ragged magic—it takes longer to simmer than normal, and it never boils at Temple’s peak temperature. The flailing electronic loops of “Tokyo London US Korea” don’t cohere into a song, and the synth-and-strum swirl of “Falling” feels like a limper retread of A Different Ship’s Krautrock epics. But stick with it: “Candy Apple” is a caffeinated fuzz-guitar jab, and the ethereal folk of “Ordinary Feeling” re-asserts Temple’s status as Paul Simon’s long-lost art school godson.
