Merritt’s accordion player, the novelist Daniel Handler, later noted that “this tinny and intimate recording, in quiet defiance of the reigning roar of pop music, recalls both the early, scratchy field recordings of folk music and the first experiments in electronic music - precisely the sort of stylistic balance the Magnetic Fields liked to achieve.” The album includes the early-’90s college radio single \u003ci\u003e100,000 Fireflies\u003c\/i\u003e which had earlier appeared as a single on Harriet Records and was later covered by Superchunk. The album artwork on both \u003ci\u003eDistant Plastic Trees\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wayward Bus\u003c\/i\u003e was created by watercolorist Wendy Smith. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497246298443,"sku":"1080501","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50497248133451,"sku":"1003416","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b75da4d2-0146-42cb-8ab3-131cecd8094f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727726998","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-wayward-bus-distant-plastic-trees-reissue","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
