Currently Making Me Swoon...

...is the electro-jangle pop of Here We Go Magic's "Collector," the first pre-release track from the band's upcoming second album, Pigeons, which will see the light of day on June 8th via a release from Secretly Canadian.

This is a terrific song that more than adequately channels the glorious weather Chicago is currently experiencing on this fine April Fool's Day. It's as if someone like the Feelies or the Bongos or Speed The Plough found themselves locked in a recording studio with, say, Kraftwerk or LCD Soundsystem. Much better than "Drunk Girls," the pre-release from the upcoming album from aforementioned blogger-favorites, LCD Soundsystem.

It's amazing how an album that wasn't really on one's radar can subsequently skyrocket to "much anticiapted" after hearing one song; I had this same reaction several weeks ago when listening to Broken Social Scene's awesome, "World Sick," which will show up on the band's upcoming Forgiveness Rock Record out May 4th.
