The Magnetic Fields, led by frontman Stephin Merritt, recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of their iconic album "69 Love Songs" with a memorable Tiny Desk concert. Despite battling a head cold, Merritt delivered a heartfelt performance cradling a stuffed cat, playing fan favorites like "The Book of Love" and "I Don't Want to Get Over You." The band, known for their diverse instrumentation and quirky lyrics, have had a storied career since their debut single in 1991. The Magnetic Fields' discography includes conceptual albums like "69 Love Songs," the "no-synth" trilogy, and their latest release, "Quickies." Additionally, the band's journey has been chronicled in the documentary "Strange Powers," and they have performed at notable events like All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Jeff Mangum. Former lead singer Susan Anway sadly passed away in September 2021, leaving a lasting impact on the band's iconic sound.
