The Washington Post has added The Magnetic Fields' "Please Stop Dancing" to the top of their "Singles File" list. The song is off Distortion, the group's forthcoming Nonesuch release, and the paper says it's "the first great love song of 2008," albeit one in a "smog of distorted guitars." Writes the Post's Chris Richards: "Leave it to Magnetic Fielder Stephin Merritt to make such cacophony sound cute."
