MAGNETIC FIELDS

STEPHIN MERRITT

Seen as a lo-fi Cole Porter and voted only second to 'Moby' in the US critics poll last year, the triple album '69 LOVE SONGS' is currently one of the most enthused about albums on the globe.

Also dubbed "the greatest songwriter of his generation" by Time Out in New York, his fans include Lou Reed and Brian Wilson.
A real auteur who writes, plays, arranges and produces, he has developed the D.I.Y. ethic and his technological expertise to create indie-pop with a human face that achieves as much bittersweet warmth, symphonic grandeur and diversity as the form can allow.
This show will be his only one outside of London !
