The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)

It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle.

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 [...]
