The Magnetic Fields continue their four-night stint at New York's Town Hall tonight and through the weekend. At last night's opening show, writes the New York Press, "the Stephin Merritt-led quintet displayed their songwriting magic ... The band was loose, but the playing was precise."
The songs in the set from the group's latest Nonesuch release, Distortion---arranged to be distortion-free for the live shows---"stood solidly on the foundation of the playful songwriting and lyrics," reads the review. The tunes were also given "a special freshness" with Merritt, Claudia Gonson, and Shirley Simms swapping vocals throughout the set.
