''Realism'' is an album by The Magnetic Fields. It was officially released on January 26, 2010 by Nonesuch Records. Described by songwriter Stephin Merritt as "my folk album", the instrumentation of ''Realism'' is largely acoustic, stark in contrast to the band's previous album, ''Distortion'', released in 2008. Merritt said he "thought of the two records as a pair" and considered titling the albums ''True'' and ''False''; ultimately, he couldn't decide which title would correspond with which album. The song "The Dada Polka" is the only track to feature an electric guitar. Merritt also avoided using a traditional drum kit, further separating the sound of ''Realism'' from the noise pop of ''Distortion''. Along with ''Distortion'' and the 2004 album ''i'', ''Realism'' was also recorded without the use of synthesizers, completing the band's "no-synth trilogy". Joshua Rifkin, who arranged the Judy Collins albums ''In My Life'' and ''Wildflowers'', was cited by Merritt as a creative influence for ''Realism''.〔 ==Track listing== All tracks written by Stephin Merritt. #"You Must Be Out of Your Mind" - 3:12 #"Interlude" - 2:11 #"We Are Having a Hootenanny" - 2:10 #"I Don't Know What to Say" - 2:29 #"The Dolls' Tea Party" - 2:17 #"Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree" - 2:24 #"Walk a Lonely Road" - 3:04 #"Always Already Gone" - 2:40 #"Seduced and Abandoned" - 2:21 #"Better Things" - 2:31 #"Painted Flower" - 2:11 #"The Dada Polka" - 2:21 #"From a Sinking Boat" - 3:26 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Realism (The Magnetic Fields album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
