The Magnetic Fields: 50 Song Memoir
- Artists
- The Magnetic Fields, Stephin Merritt
The Magnetic Fields present a live showcase of their brand new album 50 Song Memoir. Written by illustrious songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Stephin Merritt, each of the album’s fifty songs commemorate a year of his life, particularly documenting his relationships with art, music and love over five decades. With seven musicians each playing seven instruments, the band will perform 25 songs of memoir each night in their typically spectacular style.
The Magnetic Fields is the flagship project of prolific American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Stephin Merritt. Spanning a number of genres and unashamedly leftfield, Merritt has long been celebrated for his intricately conceptual songwriting, translated into eclectic arrangements by the band and maintaining unpredictable and sardonic lyrics at the core of the music.
