The Magnetic Fields- “Quick”

May 14, 2012, 12:24pm The Needle Drop

The Magnetic Fields have always had an unconventional approach to love songs so it's only fitting that their videos follow suit. In their new video for "Quick!"-which is a track fromo their most recent studio effort Love at the Bottom of the Sea -a strange woman who shares housing sensibilities with Oscar the Grouch falls in love with a fellow trash can dweller. The video powerfully portrays the longing to express one's love for someone as crippled by shyness in the same playful and quirky way Stephin Merritt employs in his music. In addition, the producers of [...]

Interview: Magnetic Fields – “I always think I should plan ahead and do a reggae album…”

Apr 23, 2012, 12:50pm State Magazine

Though the Magnetic Fields have been creating music since 1989 most of their discography prior to 1999 has been overshadowed by the overwhelming scope and success of 69 Love Songs . It would seem their succeeding works; i , Distortions and Reality , have all been reactive to the wake left behind that particular trilogy. The release of Love at the Bottom of the Sea sees both the end and return to an era. Moving on from the self imposed ‘no-synth’ restrictions and a return to the accepted one album format, [...]

Reseña: The Magnetic Fields - Love at the Bottom of the Sea

Apr 14, 2012, 5:43pm Cuchara Sónica

Sabemos que uno de las temáticas que mejor manejan los miembros de The Magnetic Fields es el tema del amor, bah, para ser más específicos, el principal y único miembro medular de la banda, Stephin Merrit , quien recientemente ha sido reconocido como una influencia tal que amerita que salga una película enteramente dedicada a sus habilidades para la composición y para generar el tipo de música que genera, para decirlo rápidamente. Canciones surrealistas dedicadas al amor, al desconsuelo, con un sonido entre encantador e hipnótico, clave que también sirve para entender a la última [...]

[Review/Listen] – The Magnetic Fields – “Love At The Bottom Of The Sea”

Mar 7, 2012, 4:49pm Listen Before You Buy

As soon as I heard "Andrew In Drag" , the lead single of "Love At The Bottom Of The Sea" , I couldn't wait to get the follow up to the frankly disappointing "Realism" in my hands, but a leak would do. So every day I would sit at my computer and and refresh the page just waiting for that juicy link to the album. C'mon, at least give me a stream! When I eventually got a cheeky download and hit play I was surprised, surprised because I wasn't let down. I have a tendency to [...]

The Magnetic Fields – Love at the Bottom of the Sea

Mar 5, 2012, 10:41pm Austin Town Hall

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Personally, The Magnetic Fields is one of those bands that I can't explain to people, let alone explain to myself.  For almost two decades Stephin Merritt has used the group as his primary outlet for songwriting, but the last couple of years he's definitely led the group in varying directions, with various effects.  For all intents and purposes, Love at the Bottom of the Sea is a great return to form, demonstrating the prowess of Merritt and [...]

After a triple dosage of no synth records, The Magnetic Fields appear to have been swept by nostalgia as they rekindle themselves with the sound that established them all those years ago. Yes, the return of the synth and if ‘Andrew In Drag’ is anything to go by, their forthcoming album, ‘Love at the Bottom... Read more..
