The Magnetic Fields have premiered a ‘rubbish’ video for their new single ‘Quick’, off Love at the Bottom of the Sea, released a couple of months ago on Domino and Merge Records.
The video is actually excellent and not rubbish literally but it features a charming love affair between two rubbish bin inhabitants.
James Spinney directed it, watch it below.
Only a month ago The Magnetic Fields announced the release of a new album entitled Love at the Bottom of the Sea. This is The Magnetic Fields’ 10th full-length album and it comes out on March 5th in the UK via Domino and March 6th in the US via Merge Records.
Now we finally get the first taste from Love at the Bottom of the Sea with ‘Andrew in Drag’. Enjoy it below!
The Magnetic Fields have announced the release of their 10th full-length album titled Love at the Bottom of the Sea. The album will be out on March 5th in the UK via Domino and a day later in the US via Merge Records. The album will be available digitally, in CD and vinyl and it can be pre-ordered now through both labels.
The album was recorded by frontman Stephen Merritt and usual collaborators Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood and Daniel Handler in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
To coincide with the release, The Magnetic Fields will tour North America and Europe. You can check all dates and other info here.
Stephen Merritt said that Love at the Bottom of the Sea will see the band return to their “signature mix of synth and acoustic sounds”.
Whilst we impatiently wait for a taster for this album, here’s ‘Absolutely Cuckoo’ from the group’s last synth inclusive three-volume concept album 69 Love Songs released in 1999.
