500 Greatest Albums of the 2000's # 250 The Magnetic Fields - i

 


The Magnetic Fields I imagine are a point of obsession for many but I've never particularly beem drawn into their orbit. There's lots of arch, chamberplay on show on i.. A deep baritone. Clever word play. A viola sawing in the background.. You always got heart as well as brain with Lou, David and Bryan. You never sense thatThe Magnetic Fields are going to bleed at any point. We parted company a few tracks in when I decided I was more interested in their wardrobe, record and book collection than whatever might be coming next on i.
