Description

The bands tenth full length album is their first release of new material for Domino, who have previously reissued some of the bands classic period albums and Stephin Merritts recent Obscurities collection.

After putting out three synthesizer-free albums, The Magnetic Fields are returning to their signature mix of synth and acoustic sounds they established in the 90s with releases such as The Charm Of The Highway Strip and Get Lost. Stephin Merritt has come back to synths with afresh approach: Most of the synthesizers on the record didnt exist when we were last using synthesizers, he notes.

The songs none over three minutes long were recorded in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York with Merritts usual cast of collaborators: Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood and Daniel Handler.

The Magnetic Fields will be celebrating the release of Love At The Bottom Of The Sea with UK and Ireland dates.
