New Releases Tuesday

Is there really any other release today bigger than this?

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion

Apparently only being offered for a limited time, the entire album is available for free streaming on the group's Myspace page.

Also, for a limited time, when you purchase the album at your local record store or from Nonesuch Records, you'll receive for free, Stephen Merritt's "The Man of a Million Faces" single which he performed on NPR's All Songs Considered.

So, hurry up!

Edit: If you go the Nonesuch route, you get the actual copy of the CD as well as a downloadable album. However, there is the pain of having to download all the songs separate. What's up with that, Nonesuch? Still, the mp3 files are of a higher quality than those on iTunes (320kbps vs. 128kbps). However, you still might want to check out Distortion on iTunes since its bonus track replaces the NPR song with an alternate vocal version of "California Girls".
