From Wikipedia:
"The Magnetic Fields (named after the André Breton novel, Les Champs Magnétiques) is an
American indie pop group founded and led by Stephin Merritt. He is the group's primary
songwriter, producer and vocalist, as well as frequent multi-instrumentalist. The Magnetic
Fields is essentially a vehicle for Merritt's songwriting, along with various side-projects,
such as The 6ths, Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies. While the particular musical
style of the band is usually as malleable as Merritt's songwriting, its songs are commonly
attributed to pop genres and subgenres: synthpop, indie pop, and noise pop. The band is
often also cited as being recognizable by Merrit's lyrics, often about love and often
with irregular or neutral gender roles, that are by turns ironic, tongue-in-cheek, bitter,
and humorous."
