I for one am eagerly awaiting the release of Stephin Merritt (a.k.a. The Magnetic Fields) new album - 'Distortion', and despite the fact that prerelease copies have been doing the rounds for some time, none have materilalised in the Playlouder office. However, while waiting for the album to be released (Or for someone to give me a waffles.fm invite), I've been able to enjoy one of the tracks from the album (entitled 'Three Way'), available from MP3 blog My Big Mouth Strikes Again, along with tracks from a few other upcoming releases, including new ones from Black Mountain, Xiu Xiu, and hotly-tipped youngsters Vampire Weekend. 'Three Way' is a great bit of melodic JAMC-ish guitar pop, with some suprisingly surf-ish influences. It's sublime. Enjoy!
Distortion will be released on the 15th of January on Nonesuch Records. Why not preorder it from here?
