The Magnetic Fields North American Tour

Boston's Magnetic Fields will embark on a 19-show tour through the States and Canada beginning on February 4th in Washington, DC.  The multi-instrumentalists will be supporting their new album Realism, released the week before the tour from Nonesuch.  As with most Magnetic Fields projects, this new album is sure to be completely different from 2008's fantastic Distortion.  No telling which direction Stephen Merritt and Co will go this time, but apparently tree leaves are listed as a percussion instrument on the albums credits.  Okay. 

If you live above I-70, then you should be very pleased with these tour dates.  No love for the South unfortunately.  Get over it Texas, you have Austin.  Full schedule after the jump...
