Product description








NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE












.com








Perhaps we&apos;ve been spoiled by the prolific talents of Stephen Merritt. He&apos;s the brainchild behind the 6ths, Magnetic Fields, and Future Bible Heroes, which all prove that sentimentality didn&apos;t die out with the Tin Pan Alley songsmith. And we&apos;ve come to expect nothing short of brilliance from him (which he so perfectly illustrated in the Magnetic Fields&apos; 69 Love Songs). The 6ths is less a band than a studio project, an outlet in which Merritt&apos;s higher-marquee friends get to cover the songwriter&apos;s ditties. The lineup of guest vocalists on Hyacinths and Thistles is impressive enough (Gary Numan, Melanie, Bob Mould, Odetta, and Sally Timms, to name a few), but the moments of synth-pop brilliance--Saint Etienne&apos;s Sarah Cracknell on &quot;Kissing Things&quot; and the Divine Comedy&apos;s Neil Hannon on &quot;The Dead Only Quickly&quot;--are few and far between. Odetta&apos;s &quot;Waltzing Me All the Way Home&quot; sounds like a heartfelt Tom Waits tune, but it follows Marc Almond&apos;s overblown exotica track, &quot;Volcana!&quot; Yes, Mr. Merritt, we know you have a lot of musical friends whose ability to traverse styles (from disco to sea shanty) is impressive. But whereas Wasps&apos; Nests, the 6ths&apos; debut CD, felt like a cohesive song cycle, Hyacinths and Thistles sounds like a thrown-together tribute disc. --Jason Verlinde

    buy for the lyrics
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2015*

I think this album is by the same guy who formed the group Magnetic Fields. I never have loved his instrumentation but the lyrics are amazingly clever.
