Be still my beating heart.
The Magnetic Fields – Realism
The Magnetic Fields have just released their latest album, Realism, the sister to their last album, Distortion, on Nonesuch records. The feedback and white noise of Distortion is gone and they’re back to the more familiar territory of clean, ornate and highly arranged songs. However, as always, Stephin Merritt’s songs have has the same beautiful melodies, articulate lyrics, ukuleles and numerous other instruments.
Their live show always involves Merritt with his ukulele and I’m sure there will be lots of solo ukulele performances appearing on youtube.
