Known worldwide for a mixture of sounds, styles, & moods, The Magnetic Fields' music ranges from exuberant blasts of power-pop noise, to electro-country meditations, to euro-pop. Only using a modest number of instruments, with no synthesizers, composer and producer Stephin Merritt creates a textural wall of sound underlying clever lyrics about love, loss & desire. For a musical group who “only plays in theatrical venues where the red velvet chairs remind people to be quiet,” there couldn’t be a more perfect venue than the historic Paramount Theatre.
