"Three-Way" and "California Girls," off The Magnetic Fields'

forthcoming Nonesuch release, Distortion, open the latest edition of

NPR's All Songs Considered. "If you're a fan of All Songs Considered,"

says the show's host, Bob Boilen, "then you know we're followers and

lovers of all things Stephin Merritt."

After playing the two Magnetic Fields tracks, Boilen provides the

perfect context for the tunes with a seamless segue to Jesus and Mary Chain's

"Just Like Honey," off the group's seminal 1985 work Psychocandy, the

album that inspired the fuzzed-out sound of Distortion.

You can listen to the latest edition of All Songs Considered online at npr.org.

Distortion will be available on Tuesday, January 15. With every purchase of the CD at the Nonesuch Store comes a free instant download of the album plus the exclusive bonus track of "The Man of a Million Faces," the song Stephin wrote and performed for the inaugural episode of NPR's Project Song.
