New Magnetic Fields Album Pushed Back To '08

Via House Of Tomorrow: *The new Magnetic Fields album is now planned for release in early 2008. The exact release date and album title will be announced shortly, as well as information on other Stephin Merritt projects.

The band will probably do some US tour dates following the release, and when these are confirmed, they will be posted in the Calendar section of the website. Meanwhile, Stephin Merritt continues to work on developing several new projects in theater, including a stage adaptation of Neil Gaiman's children's book Coraline.*

I guess this puts an end to the original report, from last September, which claimed that The Magnetic Fields would be releasing TWO albums before the calendar year comes to a close. Let out your collective sighs now.
