Det låter som om bandledaren Stephin Merritt för första gången i sitt liv kommit över en synt och släppt precis allt vad han har för sina händer. Ja, jag är fullt medveten om att han kryddat sina akustiska låtkonstruktioner med synthesizer i det förflutna, på fina skivor som The Charm of the Highway Strip och Get Lost, men det här låter nästan enerverande lekfullt. Till och med för att vara The Magnetic Fields. Man får bilden att Merritt stängt in sig i ett litet rum med vapendragarna Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood, Daniel Handler (ett [...]
rateyourmusic.com With the release of their tenth album Love At The Bottom Of The Sea upon us this week, I figured that I should have a wealth of Magnetic Fields covers to choose from this week. After all, Stephin Merritt is one of the great pop songwriters of our day and he's released no shortage of songs rich with melodic and lyrical gems that are ripe for reinterpretation. And no question, there are covers out there but not nearly as many as you'd expect - or I'd expect, [...]
The Magnetic Fields Love At The Bottom Of The Sea Merge Records 06/Mar/2012 "Una búsqueda de amor en el ultimo rincón del mundo" Stephin Merritt se encuentra en (quizás) la etapa final de su carrera, lamentablemente es el ciclo de la vida. Después de 20 años de música y unas cuantas obras perfectas como Get [...]
Words by Rick Moslen OK—I know the Billboard charts are pointless these days (at least to me), but when Merge Records hit #1 with Arcade Fire 's The Suburbs album—I don't know—I felt like a dad whose skinny unpopular son kicked the asses of the high school bullies…I was proud. The label was intended as a means to help local bands by releasing 7"s. Over twenty years later, after changing all your friends' music taste with albums by The Magnetic Fields , Neutral Milk Hotel , Mountain Goats , [...]
Thirteen years ago, The Magnetic Fields released their 69 Love Songs , a colossal three-disc collection exploring the vast complexities of love that was largely hailed as a synth-pop masterpiece. For any other band, such an ambitious undertaking can—and probably should—be dismissed as a gimmick, but due to the mercurial talents of band leader Stephin Merritt, The Magnetic Fields unquestionably pulled it off, and since then, fans have pined for another record as brilliant as 69 Long Songs . But is that too much to ask? Is there life after the landmark album, or are bands [...]
The new Magnetic Fields Album 'Love At The Bottom Of The Sea' will be released this week. We're big fans of Stephin Merrits solo stuff and of course TMF since '69 Love Songs'. Domino is now offering a full album stream for a limited time - listen here: Video: The Magnetic Fields - Andrew In [...]
"I heard he wrote you a song, But so what? Some guy wrote sixty-nine And one just ain't enough." Beulah 'Popular Mechanics for Lovers' Stephin Merritt has spent his last three albums trying to play down to his maximalist masterpiece 69 Love Songs , just as his detractors bemoan the fact he isn't living up to it. Each of the entries in the "no-synths" trilogy has been based around a loose concept, but only once - on i 's immaculate, alphebeticised chamber-pop - has the music seemed [...]
Lonely highway - The Magnetic Fields The Magnetic Fields released a new album recently. Or maybe not. It says on their website it is a March release, yet everyone is talking about it as though they hold it already. Love At The Bottom Of The Sea it's called, and from all reports it's a winner. That's good news. I should buy a copy if they're already out there; wait until March and buy if not. It has synthesizers again. As long as [...]
"I will spend the rest of my life living down 69 Love Songs , just as I planned to. It's fine," said Stephin Merritt in a recent interview with The Guardian. While the Magnetic Fields' 1999 album can only be described as a towering work of genius, the band continue to make pleasing, heartbreaking music that is evolving constantly, as new record Love at the Bottom of the Sea goes to show. Lead single 'Andrew in Drag' was the first to be released on to the internet, serving as the perfect appetiser for what proves [...]
Stream: The Magnetic Fields- Love At the Bottom of the Sea The new album from The Magnetic Fields is streaming on NPR Music right now. The concept behind this LP seems to be that of a confused and conflicted love. All the various vocalists sing with their own unique personality about relationships that are just a bit off. In many cases they deal with some serious subject matters in what kind of relationships are socially acceptable. The lyrics and delivery are often witty and make light of the situations [...]

I'm always excited to find out what theme Stephin Merritt has come up with for his latest Magentic Fields records. On the new one, Love At The Bottom Of The Sea (out March 6th), he takes a definite electronic turn. Taking that into account, one shouldn't be shocked when you're smacked in the face by the bloated beats that introduce "God Wants Us To Wait". Zips and blips slash their way across "Your Girlfriend's Face". With the first bars of "All She Cares About Is Mariachi", I was concerned that a Cameo [...]
