Finally, Stephin Merritt and his Magnetic Fields have released a video to go along to the insanely catchy and wonderful song, "Andrew in Drag," off their forthcoming album Love at the Bottom of the Sea (out Mar. 6th). And it doesn't disappoint! The song is apparently about a straight guy who falls in love with the drag persona of his straight friend Andrew. The video is directed by Scott Valins, and as Dan Raby over at NPR aptly put it, "feels like an infomercial on a channel you can't comprehend." It features Darrell Thorne and Stormy Leather transforming into their drag personae, as Merritt and co-MF-er Claudia Gonson do some rotating.
