Love at the Bottom of the Sea, the Magnetic Fields' tenth studio album, came out in March 2012, on Domino in the UK and Merge in the States. After the no-synth trilogy that wrapped up with Realism, Stephin Merritt, the band's leader, songwriter, producer and main voice, lets the synthesizers back in, and the record is synth-pop again: bleepy, brisk and wickedly arch.
"Andrew in Drag" and "Quick!" were the singles, and they give you the flavor: short, sharp, catchy songs dressed in toy-box electronics and delivered with a perfectly straight face. It's never less than clever, and it rarely outstays its welcome. 50 Song Memoir came next.
