Magnetic Fields to tour UK and Europe with new LP

Article written by Paul M - Dec 13, 2011

Magnetic Fields LP

The Magnetic Fields will be releasing a new album, Love at the Bottom of the Sea, on March 6, 2012, on Domino Records in the UK and Merge in the US. The band's tenth full-length album will be celebrated with tours through North America and Europe.

Merritt says of the new album that "instead of using a synthesizer as a melodic instrument, much of the time I used it as a compositional destructive mechanism, something eating away at the apparent order of my perfectionist arrangements. I was very happy to be using synthesizers in ways that I had not done before. Most of the synthesizers on the record didn't exist when we were last using synthesizers."

The songs - none over three minutes long - were recorded with Merritt's usual cast of collaborators: Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood and Daniel Handler.
