P06: The Magnetic Fields - “Papa Was A Rodeo” -
A true A-to-Z catalog of touchingly bittersweet love songs that runs the gamut from tender ballads to pithy folk tunes to bluesy vamps, the sheer scope of the record allows all of Merritt’s musical personas to converge…Before you kiss me you should know.

Moving on…
Thanks to Westkust, I found this cool band. I assumed that Sweden was the link & the awesome blog, Systems of Romance, just confirmed my suspicions.
SoR mentions the various musical sign-posts we could follow (mid-period Siouxsie, Concrete Blonde, etc). I tend towards the Missing Persons reference, but rougher and possibly harder.
And it took me a few listens to grab onto this track the way you’ve got to - with both hands and some snarl, some bite - but I got there… and I am glad that I did. But the way the ‘chorus’ drives and repeats? Ooh yeah, that just pulls me right in.
Very nice.
