  • Comment: It has not yet been released?! An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. Conversely, an album does not need to be by a notable artist or ensemble to merit a standalone article if it meets the general notability guideline. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting.

Untitled

Be Small is the fourth full-length studio album from the indie rock band Here We Go Magic and was released by Secretly Canadian in October 2015 [1] [2]. Drawing inspiration from Brian Eno and John Cale's Wrong Way Up, as well as Robert Wyatt's Shleep, singer-songwriter Luke Temple began recording before enlisting the help of bandmate Michael Bloch.[3] The two were then assisted by drummer Austin Vaughn and bassist Brian Betancourt, who helped to complete the record.[4]
