The Magnetic Fields: “I’d Go Anywhere With Hugh” from Love at the Bottom of the Sea (Merge, 3/6/12)
The Magnetic Fields: “I’d Go Anywhere with Hugh”
Taking the twee potential of the song title and cranking it to 11, “I’d Go Anywhere With Hugh” is a blast of sunshine and ’60s-infused pop hiding a surprisingly complicated love story in its two minutes. Try not to smile too hard, and make sure to come up for air after The Magnetic Fields’ deep-sea journey.
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
