Oct 26, 2015Always intelligent but never too clever for their own good, Here We Go Magic finally break into a huge, dumb guitar solo on 'News'. That's where they are, making the challenging accessible, a band forging their own path at last. Never mind, Be Small, this thinks big.

MagnetNov 17, 2015Be Small connotes acceptance of the intimacy Temple can't seem to breach. [No. 126, p.57]

Oct 26, 2015Be Small is loaded with simply good, interesting songs.

UncutOct 27, 2015If A Different Ship was the soundtrack to a road trip, the new record is designed for a summer afternoon. [Dec 2015, p.73]

Nov 4, 2015The sun may be setting, but an album as self-aware as Be Small is a blinding signal of light and hope.

Oct 26, 2015Temple’s chameleonic tendencies make it unlikely that he’ll release an album in this vein again. With that in mind, it’s best to enjoy Be Small for what it is: charming, skilful, and pleasing to the ear.

Oct 26, 2015If kept short and sweet, Temple would have made a charmingly laconic record that blossomed in unconventionality, yet sadly here is muddled in his expansive means.
