Magnetic Fields New Album - Realism

Boston native Stephin Merritt’s potentially tenuous grasp on reality (which came into question when he called Boston a “cheap” place to live , if not before) aside, his Magnetic Fields’ new album will be called Realism . It’s due out January 26, so rabid fans can ask for a pre-order for Christmas, we suppose, or just download it early and hope to get tickets if Merritt and company play some local shows. As you can see, the album’s cover is appropriately realistic. And below is the track

listing for Realism , which seems both seasonally appropriate and artistically inspired. 1. You Must Be Out of Your Mind 2. Interlude 3. We Are Having a Hootenanny 4. I Don’t Know What to Say 5. The Dolls’ Tea Party 6. Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree 7. Walk a Lonely Road 8. Always Already Gone 9. Seduced and Abandoned 10. Better Things 11. Painted Flower 12. The Dada Polka 13. From a Sinking Boat
