New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Magnetic Fields are guests on the latest episode of the Sonos podcast
Music Is Everything! hosted by Elia Einhorn. Stephin Merritt, Claudia Gonson, and Sam Davol perform four songs - "Born on a Train," from The Charm of the Highway Strip; "I Don't Believe in the Sun" and "The Book of Love," from 69 Love Songs; and "'71 I Think I'll Make Another World," from 50 Song Memoir - and chat with Einhorn. You can hear the session at about twenty-six minutes into the episode below.
Einhorn says: "I'll admit, dear listener, I was glad to be wearing a mask in the studio, not just for my safety, not just for their safety, but because my face absolutely crumbled a couple of times at the power of Stephin Merritt's lyrics and emotional delivery."
The Magnetic Fields will return to the road in April for a three-week tour of the United States and Canada. The twelve-city tour begins at the Tarrytown
Music Hall in upstate New York on April 6, followed by stops in Northampton, Raleigh, Charlottesville, Toronto, Iowa City, Saint Paul, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
