The Magnetic Fields - Realism

Review by Hannah Gregory

The Magnetic Fields write Eternally Great Pop Songs. Have since 1991, will, we hope, for years to come. Stephin Merritt conceives infinities of combinations of a foolhardy formula, and minor key changes to patterns of romance-filled composition enable this: a ninth album in the name of reality, truth, and all-acoustic recording. Realism stands as the flipside to 2008’s Distortion, whose electric guitars and fuzzy amplification produced a blend of honey power pop reminiscent of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s Psychocandy. Realism does away with this temporary rock aspiration, returns to non-amplified orchestration, and stops flirting with feedback, as Merritt again says, ‘I Love You’ through his characters’ songs. »
