The Magnetic Fields - Three-Way

[BenDuvallIrwin]

THREE-WAY!

[ROoooo80]

harks back to Holiday

Stephen explained that this album was recorded at very low volume. They used many tiny battery powered amps the size of cigarette packs with 1 inch speakers to get the distortion at really low volume. Since Merritt, with his ear condition, can't endure any loud volume, the MFs always play acoustically when they perform live, but in the studio they can get that great roaring distortion (eg 'Yeah, Oh Yeah') without having to crank up the volume. Pretty brilliant, I think.

@torridscene Smokey Amps, they rule.

[wolfxbloed]

Merritt has an auditory condition that causes him to hear above-average volume in feedback. The band takes inspiration from this and has their music mixed to be "distorted" and strange. If you don't like it... don't listen to it. It's your loss.

Excellent band whatever you say about it.

[richamerican]

this album certainly sounds...distorted

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH­!!!!!!!!!!

[isolationeitheror]

[julesequalsloveTV]

[allbymysmelf]

Guys.. Its MEANT to be distorted. Hence the album name, distortion...

[kakashichunin]

This song gives me good vibes of the summertime and hanging out past dark with my friends.

[haileystars]

I like this song a lot, it always makes me laugh too

[lubaluba56]

why do i love this song? this track isnt like any other i have on my ipod, yet i think it's ambient, groovy, and the distortedness reminds me of bloody valentine. it feels very vintage. i adore it.

[faronthefiddler]

My ex-wife, her girlfriend, (she liked girl's), and I. Now that was a three way! Boy howdy!

[cigarrvb]

a bit like keep feeling fascination?

[eddiecullen]

TheStyleCrusader, this is called YouTube. Buy the CD ^^

[clauclau33]

"Three-way!" Na, na na, na na na na... :P

[TheStyleCrusader]

audio quality is a bit rubbish...

[knownbyfew]

its a youtube video for free audio. you should buy the album if you want quality

[Alissandro182]

I agree, but I think he meant the audio itself, that has a los of "distortion". I think that´s on porpuse, not what the purpose is.... but yeah, it is on porpuse.

all the songs in this cd have the same weird sounds inside.

[xanadeux]

@knownbyfew Or download it for free. Yah.

[sonoramanet]

damn! you should have read about this album first: distortion is fully inspired on The Jesus & Mary Chain's Psychocandy. then it was intentionally recorded and filled with this fine noise all over the album. nice record!! :D

[jaspobrowno]

@TheStyleCrusader its meant to be like that. the distortion is part of the song, not a fault of youtube

[kellmano1]
