Holiday

The Magnetic Fields

A travelogue of the lonely heart told through cheap synthesizers and deadpan wit. Hazy, romantic, and perfectly captured in a lo-fi bedroom glow.

Find on Amazon

It's like a collection of sad, witty postcards written on a Casio keyboard.

A hazy, travel-obsessed collection of songs that feel like a warm hug from a very cynical friend.

The production is pushed notably harder into lo fi than this artist usually allows.

Take Ecstasy With Me

Moments Worth Waiting For
The shimmering, hypnotic synth loop that carries the druggy romanticism of Take Ecstasy With Me.
The way the fuzzy noise floor of Desert Island creates a sense of profound isolation before the melody kicks in.
The sudden, bright pop clarity of Strange Powers cutting through the album's general lo-fi haze.
