There’s a new movie hitting theatres this week called ?Strange Powers.? It follows a band that, according to the film’s disclaimer, is iconic to some and completely unknown to others.
The band is called The Magnetic Fields. And though they’ve been making albums since 1989, their founding member, Stephin Merritt, is still a mystery to many.
Meritt and Claudia Gonson (who provides vocals and instrumentals for the band, and also serves as the band’s manager) join us in studio, to give us a small glimpse into their lives, their music, and the film.
