Merge Records

Merge Records is an independent record label based in Durham, North Carolina. Founded in 1989 by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan, it started as a platform to release music from their band Superchunk and their friends' creations. Over the years, Merge Records has grown to include talented artists from all over the world, with some of their records even reaching the top of the Billboard music charts.
With its headquarters nestled in Durham, North Carolina, Merge Records has become a renowned name in the music industry. The label was established by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan back in 1989 with a vision to share their own musical endeavors as well as support fellow musicians within their circle.
What began as a humble endeavor quickly flourished into something much greater. Today, Merge Records boasts an impressive roster of artists spanning various genres and backgrounds. From indie rock to experimental pop, *Superchunk* paved the way for other talented musicians to join forces under this esteemed label's umbrella.

The Magnetic Fields is an American indie pop group founded and led by Stephin Merritt. Merritt serves as the primary songwriter, producer, and vocalist for the band. The Magnetic Fields is known for their malleable musical style, which encompasses genres such as synthpop, indie pop, and noise pop. Merritt's lyrics often explore themes of love with a touch of irony, humor, and bitterness. The band has also spawned various side-projects including The 6ths, Future Bible Heroes, and The Gothic Archies.
Named after the novel "Les Champs Magnétiques," The Magnetic Fields was established as a platform for Stephin Merritt's exceptional songwriting skills. With his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist in addition to being the main creative force behind the band's music production process, Merritt has crafted a distinct sound that defies easy categorization.
While their songs span various subgenres within the realm of pop music, it is primarily their catchy synthpop-infused melodies and cleverly crafted lyrics that have garnered them recognition. Often exploring unconventional gender roles through his songwriting approach, Merritt's lyrics are both thought-provoking and entertaining.

Stephin Merritt is a genius. This man must be the devil himself as he is living proof that the devil has all the best tunes. Get Lost is one of their best albums and was originally released in 1995. Merritts voice is mournful and sombre in all the right places although he is capable of sounding urgent with expectation and hope on songs like Famous. The standout has to be The Desperate Things You Make Me Do with it's chorus of "i dedicate this song to you / for all the desparate things you make me do / i'd like to beat you black and blue / for all the agony you have put me through." on merge.
