Get Lost

The Magnetic Fields

Synth-pop for the lonely and literate. Cheap drum machines and lush, artificial strings provide a backdrop for Stephin Merritt’s devastatingly witty baritone.

It's like a book of sad, funny poems set to the sound of a Casio keyboard in a rainy apartment.

A sophisticated blend of dry wit and nocturnal yearning that feels both intimate and theatrical.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the synthesized strings swell with heartbreaking artifice on All the Umbrellas in London.
The transition from the bouncy, ironic synth-pop of The Desperate Things You Made Me Do into the more somber tracks.
The stark, intimate vocal delivery on When You're Old and Lonely that feels like a whispered warning.
