The Magnetic Fields' Distortion, released today, is this week's Spotlight Album in USA Today. In the three-star USA Today review, writer Elysa Gardner calls the album "pop candy in rock coating" and its creator, Stephin Merritt, "one of alternative pop’s most gifted songwriters." On Distortion, writes Gardner, "Merritt channels the melodic savvy and wit that have earned him comparisons to pop bards dating back to Cole Porter into a chocolate box of power-pop confections, coated in layers of feedback."
