The Magnetic Fields at Olympia Theatre

The Magnetic Fields return with a brand new album ‘Love at the Botton of the Sea’ and a date at The Olympia Theatre on Saturday, 28th April 2012.

The Magnetic Fields have announced plans to release their new album, Love at the Bottom of the Sea this March on Domino Records. The band's tenth full-length album is their first release of new material with Merge since 1999's highly acclaimed 69 Love Songs. The band will celebrate their new album with tours through North America and Europe.

After putting out their "synth-free trilogy," The Magnetic Fields are returning to their signature mix of synth and acoustic sounds. Merritt notes about the new album that "instead of using a synthesizer as a melodic instrument, much of the time I used it as a compositional destructive mechanism, something eating away at the apparent order of my perfectionist arrangements. I was very happy to be using synthesizers in ways that I had not done before. Most of the synthesizers on the record didn't exist when we were last using synthesizers."

The songs - none over three minutes long - were recorded with Merritt's usual cast of collaborators: Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood and Daniel Handler.

See the The Magnetic Fields live at The Olympia Theatre on Saturday, 28th April 2012. Tickets priced from €27.50 including booking fee are on sale this Thursday, from all usual Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.ie
