His 2004 release Feather and Stone, especially its opening track My Declaration, was a Radio Two favourite, but since then, not a sausage. Now comes Skybound, an autobiographical album, which shows off his angelic, dreamy voice with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.A [...]

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)
|
It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle. Yet where 69 Love Songs showed a remarkable profligacy of songwriting, and Showtunes elicited his love of Chinese music, Distortion is a conscious step back - not just looking over its shoulder, but swiveling round for a [...]

Fogerty’s Creative Revival
|
John Fogerty’s newest, Revival, is easily his best record since Centerfield, and has some of his best material since the CCR days. Songs like Gunslinger, Creedence Song, and Long Dark Night hold their own against Creedence’s best stuff.
The album starts off with Don’t You Wish It Was True, with a beat that is similar to [...]
