The Magnetic Fields, Andrew in Drag

The Magnetic Fields will be releasing their 10th full-length album, Love at the Bottom of the Sea, later this year and the first single from the upcoming album, Andrew in Drag, is a good sign of things to come. In all fairness, it doesn’t take much to see that tongue-in-cheek is a main feature of the single, but that doesn’t take anything away from it.

Andrew in Drag’s catchy chorus is a blatant crammed and sweaty indie dance floor chant-along. Strumming acoustic guitar props it up with puddled synthesiser notes and the shake of a tambourine.

However, it’s the droning, sing-song vocals of the chorus that really bring the song to live, telling the lovelorn story of a smitten, drag-queen loving cat with a penchant for Andy, despite his lack of interest in dresses and hosiery. The Ukulele rhythm gives it a beachy quality and the synth blips continue the waterside musical feel of the song.

Witty, clever and catchy, Andrew in Drag is a good prelude to what could be a great album from The Magnetic Fields. Released on the Domino Records on Monday the 27th of February, Andrew in Drag is a dead cert for alt-pop toe tapping fuzzy tingle times.

Andrew in Drag review: 4/5
