About
Rather than simply join the ranks of the pop encyclopedists, New York transplant Stephin Merritt and associates have elected to fragment, deconstruct and prismatically rearrange all the elements of classic pop songwriting. On the new album, the appropriately named "Distortion," a fine sheen of sawtooth waves, tube distortion and microphonic partials cover the exquisite melodies like layers of dust in an abandoned house. The result is a giddy delight.
