The Magnetic Fields, led by Stephin Merritt from Yonkers, NY, are indie rock icons. Known for clever lyrics and minimal arrangements, they gained acclaim with albums like the 69 Love Songs. Merritt collaborated with Claudia Gonson and others, evolving from synth pop to organic sounds. Celebrated for thematic releases and experimental projects, their work includes 2017's 50 Song Memoir and 2020's Quickies.
