Stephin Merritt is the man behind Magnetic Fields, Future Bible Heroes, The 6ths & Gothic Archies. Ebay & Charley is the soundtrack to the feature length debut of writer/director James Boltond. Packaged in a Digipak. Merge Records.

On the soundtrack to the film EBAN & CHARLEY, Stephin Merritt graduates from accomplished songwriter and frontman (of the iconic Magnetic Fields) to bona fide composer. The disc also marks Merritt's first truly solo outing, and a rather daring first effort at that, given that the film covers the rather taboo subject of an affair between a 29-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy. However, Merritt's trademark deep, brooding voice complements the melancholy subject matter perfectly. The pop songsmith also flexes considerable musical muscle by composing the entire soundtrack himself in his own studio, resulting in both abstract instrumental sketches and lush, fully fleshed-out pop songs.

Recording information: Mother West.

Rolling Stone (2/28/02, p.63) - 3.5 stars out of 5- "...The combination of quietly gorgeous pop songs and noise bites struggling to become quietly gorgeous pop songs makes fro bewitching Sunday-morning listening..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/01/02, p.107) - "...His forst soundtrack, and it's a lovely one. Diverse, too....Can't vouch for the film, but the music is okeydoke." - Rating: A-
Q (4/02, pp.117,119) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...A superb piece of work..."
NME (Magazine) (3/16/02, p.29) - 8 out of 10 - "...Essential for Merritt fans..."

Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

3 stars Second Cousin to "69 Love Songs"
The melodies are beguiling as usual, but one or two sound vaguely recycled. "Poppyland" is a standout and "Water Torture" is hilarious. Most of the instrumental tracks are inventive, but I'm not sure I see the point of seven minutes of the aptly-named "Stage Rain" (and didn't he already create this effect with the coda of "Oahu" on the Sixths' "Hyacinths And Thistles" CD?).

4 stars  to fans of magnetic fields, the sixths, etc.
the actual songs on the cd are great but the experimental song tracks in between detract from the overall appeal
