STRANGE POWERS:STEPHIN MERRITT AND THE MAGNETIC FIELDS

One of the most private and introverted musicians in the world faces the camera without his protective veils, ready to confide all. Stephin Merritt's expressive lyrics and his bitter-sweet melodies have rightfully gained him the title of the "Cole Porter of his generation". "Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields" brings him and his band into the foreground and reveals the almost religious spirituality with which they approach the songwriting process in order to create the unique and magnetic sound that managed to throw the international indie scene out of sync. Extended excerpts from their concerts round off this introspective tour of the American musician's world and make "Strange Powers" a Gospel for every Fields fan.
